Of course Fake News loses it over the patch. That's to be expected (and ignored) But good grief the Navy is infested with hyper-sensitive snowflakes.
/never a problem with patches like these under Obama.
the rules are the rules. under trump. under obama...only not for you, right?
Themed morale patches are common throughout the military. They can be humorous or refer to something unique to the unit.
Some snowflake MWR officer decided to take offense at this patch. But honoring the Commander in Chief in a humorous way is not against the "rules".
They were out of uniform.
"the rules are the rules. under trump, under obama" really anon, are you going to stand by that statement?
No Bob. They were not out of uniform.
My response to the DOD is Fuck You. Trump is Commander in Chief. He ought to tell the DOD to stand down.
That's so stupid. The patches that are worn on the right side of flight suits is the only way we can show individuality and humor on the uniform. The fact that journalists and people from the outside keep messing with our traditions is so stupid. We don't tell them what to wear so they need to stay out of it.
MAGA!!!
