Rules of the Post & Tips.

Bragg Soldiers Who Cheered Trump's Political Attacks While in Uniform Were Checked for Allegiance, Appearance.

"As Trump viciously attacked his perceived political foes, he whipped up boos from the gathered troops directed at California leaders, including Gov. Gavin Newsom -- amid the president's controversial move to deploy the National Guard and Marines against protesters in Los Angeles -- as well as former President Joe Biden and the press. The soldiers roared with laughter and applauded Trump's diatribe in a shocking and rare public display of troops taking part in naked political partisanship.

Internal 82nd Airborne Division communications reviewed by Military.com reveal a tightly orchestrated effort to curate the optics of Trump's recent visit, including handpicking soldiers for the audience based on political leanings and physical appearance. The troops ultimately selected to be behind Trump and visible to the cameras were almost exclusively male.

One unit-level message bluntly said "no fat soldiers."

"If soldiers have political views that are in opposition to the current administration and they don't want to be in the audience then they need to speak with their leadership and get swapped out," another note to troops said."

_______________________________

Soldiers with opposing political view need to get swapped out — for a photo op in which no soldier will be required actually STATE their views. They'll only be expected to laugh and boo at the appropriate times, like good little puppets.

Is there any doubt that the military will be increasingly portrayed as Trump's Boys, even as their top ranks are purged and replaced with loyalist yes-men.

You actually believe televised comments haven't been staged for the past 40 years? While deployed, this happened continually. We weren't part of the photos because of our jobs, clearance, OPSEC. Which was no big deal for us. Although some of the shows would have been nice.

"If soldiers have political views that are in opposition to the current administration and they don't want to be in the audience then they need to speak with their leadership and get swapped out," another note to troops said."
During obomber's administration, those that didn't agree with his administration didn't have the opportunity to see the commander and chief. They were "un-invited" by the individuals' command element.

So I personally know this happened in the obomber administration, and before. I'm not faulting anyone. I'm saying it's "politics." And for someone that's naïve, that must be an eye-opener.

"You actually believe televised comments haven't been staged for the past 40 years? While deployed, this happened continually."

Exactly.

But, if you have TDS, you assume Trump is Satan incarnate and the inventor of every evil.

People will working brains know the whole Doddering Old Fool term was staged! Keehee hoo ha!

We know the Homeless Hairdo is not Satan because Satan is clever, cunning and highly intelligent. He can also string together a coherent sentence. Boom - no worries, MAGAts. You're favorite orange ass monkey is definitely not Satan. 😌

You talk nonsense, OD. That's dangerous stuff. Deliberate incitement of hatred for political opposition. It is what happens in dictatorships and civil wars.

The military is strictly apolitical in all its outward appearance.

Trump is Commander-in-Chief. In any other democracy, a CIC would be instantly removed for such behaviour.

by Indy! on June 12, 2025 1:54 pm

No one in our military has the balls to challenge anything Trump does. Least of all the board Cop Killer.

by Navy2711 on June 12, 2025 5:34 pm

Navy2711's Bitch,

"You actually believe televised comments haven't been staged for the past 40 years? "

Of course that's not an accurate representation of what I said at all.

Grow the fuck up. So you're admitting you can't read? You are soooooo FN stupid about how politics actually works. AND the perceptions within politics. You're so naive, it's pitiful. Even your boyfriend understands this. And the media far better than you ever will.

Pictures really started it, which goes back to the mid 1800's. If a photographer wanted to convey one message that one army was decimated, they would print certain shots. If they wanted to end the war, they would show the absolute carnage of both sides, and the human cost. What about the "Bond rush" in WWII, getting heroes to sell them. Again, photos of the hero, some great looking woman on his arm, etcetcetc. If you want to understand the media, you have to accept that a "news" source should always taken with a grain of salt. Sometimes more than others. But if you're not reading the original source, you're getting what someone else wants you to hear.

The use of Emedia started in 1933 on Roosevelt's "fireside chats."
As the visual came about, politicians figured out that who was with them made a difference. So in order to put their best foot forward, they had to have people that looked like what they are trying to project. The "state of the union" addressed was first on the radio, then on TV.

I'm not addressing everything. Even someone as simple as you should be able to understand this is common knowledge you don't know.

Questions? Have indy talk to you about it. He can put it in third grade terms. and he and I agree on this.

So this is what I said. Where was I errored?

You'd know better than I, OD, but wouldn't a member of the military be in deep doodoo for publicly embarrassing the Commander-in-Chief?

This seems to me to be much ado about nuthin.

by Navy2711 on June 14, 2025 9:51 am

Nothing OD, nor Hate, said has anything to do with the post. This is why I constantly bemoan the fact that Trump supporters won't actually engage in a discussion. They jibber-jabber a lot, and it sort of SOUNDS like they're talking about the topic. But they'll never hit the topic head on and ACTUALLY talk about the issues.

Meanwhile, Meagain seemed to get it, no problem: "The military is strictly apolitical in all its outward appearance."

Semen 3d Class Poser, Really, we're responding to your bullsht.

This was more of a political speech than a "rally the troops." which you can't see because you hate the military. Ditto for wrongagain. So it's not us that are doing sht.

This ABSOLUTELY PROVES YOU'RE A SEMENPOSER! If you've never had an inspection before?

The soldiers roared with laughter and applauded Trump's diatribe in a shocking and rare public display of troops taking part in naked political partisanship.
Already answered. And you want them to boo and jeer any President? If they didn't jeer and bo obomber, you'll never see it. Lead hasn't been in and he gets it. The libtards here don't.

Already answered, read your shit again.

Fort Bragg is home to more than 260,000 people, of which nearly 54,000 are active troop (you know, the one's you hate?).

One unit-level message bluntly said "no fat soldiers."

Now we know for a fact, you weren't in the military.

by Navy2711 on June 15, 2025 11:29 am

Well, I didn't ask for a demonstration of this "answer without answering" phenomenon, but Navy2711's Bitch stepped right up. He actually went through the OP, sentence by sentence, and managed to not respond to a single one of them.

Vetting troops for allegiance? Navy2711's Bitch didn't address it. He calls that an "inspection". It's absolutely not.

Filming the troops being politically biased? Didn't address it.

Hand-picking troops for political leanings? Didn't address it.

Exclusively male audience? Didn't address it.

Exclusion of over-weight solders? Didn't address it.

.

Now maybe we can get Hate in here to rattle off his tired, worn-out jibber jabber: "feckless dementia-ridden, ole pb swampcult gay guy that Curt never saw, keeee heeee hooo haaaa!"
