Continued thread

Service officials declined to comment when asked about the extent to which #troops were screened, whether #soldiers displaying partisan cheers on television — a violation of long-standing #Pentagon rules — would be disciplined or if soldiers who objected to participating in the event, citing disagreements with the administration, would be disciplined or admonished in any way.

The #soldiers roared w/laughter & applauded #Trump's diatribe in a shocking & rare public display of #troops taking part in naked political partisanship.

For this story, Military.com reached out to #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth's office as well as the #Army & the 82nd Airborne Division directly w/…questions that ranged from #optics …to…the sale of Trump #campaign #merchandise on the base, to the apparent violation of #Pentagon policies on #political activity in uniform.
