Looked like hard work. Though the rear one were sort of in time.
I also see many more dark skinned soldiers there than behind Trump at his #FortBragg performance.

The president also encouraged a violation of regulations. Trump, himself a convicted felon, doesn’t care about rules and laws, but active-duty military members are not allowed to attend political rallies in uniform. They are not allowed to express partisan views while on duty, or to show disrespect for American elected officials. Trump may not know these rules and regulations, but the officers who lead these men and women know them well. It is part of their oath, their credo, and their identity as officers to remain apart from such displays. Young soldiers will make mistakes. But if senior officers remain silent, what lesson will those young men and women take from what happened today?

🙋♂️ An estimated 1,500 protesters lined California's famed Highway 1 in Fort Bragg to demonstrate against the Trump administration. “We’re standing up for democracy and freedom," said the organizer.

Yet as president, #Trump has used the #military to serve his political goals [feed his ego]. He surrounded himself with “my generals” & purged those he deemed insufficiently #loyal [to him, not the country]. He entertained a recommendation to impose a form of #MartialLaw to overturn the 2020 election that he lost. In recent days, he has given speeches at the US Military Academy at #WestPoint & #FortBragg, NC, that sounded like campaign rallies.
“Damn @POTUS. Speech At #FortBragg was inappropriate, criticizing previous administration, and generals while speaking to troops, I never witnessed that S..t like this in 37 years in Uniform,” Retired Lt. General Russel Honoré posted on social media. https://steady.substack.com/p/parade-charade?publication_id=247881&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=email-share&triggerShare=true&r=49qi9
Soldiers from #FortBragg just came forward to expose Trump — creating a whole new Military.com scandal for him!

New SCANDAL Erupts As Fort Bra...
Soldiers at Fort Bragg who stood behind U.S. President Trump and cheered when he attacked his perceived political foes were selected for their political leanings and physical appearance. One unit-level message bluntly said "no fat soldiers," Military.com reports. "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 said.

“'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.' They also reported that an Oklahoma-based retailer was selling pro-Trump and right-wing campaign-style merchandise at the event, a violation of military policy."
"Konstantin Toropin and Steve Beynon of Military [dot] com confirmed today that the troops Trump addressed in a partisan speech at Fort Bragg had been handpicked Trump supporters with a fit physical appearance. (One message simply read: 'No fat soldiers.') Toropin and Beynon reported:"

Meanwhile, Konstantin Toropin and Steve Beynon of Military [dot] com confirmed today that the troops Trump addressed in a partisan speech at Fort Bragg had been handpicked Trump supporters with a fit physical appearance. (One message simply read: “No fat soldiers.”) Toropin and Beynon reported: “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.” They also reported that an Oklahoma- based retailer was selling pro-Trump and right-wing campaign-style merchandise at the event, a violation of military policy.
When questioned about Trump’s undermining of the traditional nonpartisanship of the military, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell told the journalists: “Believe me, no one needs to be encouraged to boo the media. Look no further than this query, which is nothing more than a disgraceful attempt to ruin the lives of young soldiers.”
But a commander at Fort Bragg commented, “This has been a bad week for the Army for anyone who cares about us being a neutral institution,” speaking with Military [dot] com on the condition of anonymity to avoid retaliation. “This was shameful. | don't expect anything to come out of it, but | hope maybe we can learn from it long term.”](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/114/670/672/768/004/756/original/6eb8b56244ffc254.jpeg)
@desilydic.bsky.social tackles the politicized #FortBragg rally, which screened soldiers for loyalty and waist size. Plus, Trump plans a $45 million military parade for his birthday, and #RonnyChieng is pumped to sit courtside at a display of America’s military might.

Trump is politicising the US military with his #FortBragg performance.
Probability of #InsurrectionAct being invoked and #MartialLaw being imposed is now IMO above 60%.
#Midterms happening? IMO likely not.

Lawrence O'Donnell condemns Trump's controversial remarks at Fort Bragg about renaming military bases for Confederate generals. He questions Trump's understanding of history while addressing his distaste for Mexican flags, linking both to a troubling acceptance of racism. O'Donnell argues that honoring figures like General Braxton Bragg, who perpetuated treason and conflict, is deeply misguided.

It was supposed to be a routine appearance, a visit from the commander in chief to rally the troops, boost morale & celebrate the #Army's 250th-birthday week, which culminates with a Washington, DC, parade [not exactly for the Army, rather #Trump’s birthday] slated for Saturday.
Instead, what unfolded Tuesday at #FortBragg, North Carolina, bore little resemblance to the customary visit from a president & #defense secretary.

‘No Fat Soldiers’: Ft. Bragg Troops Were Carefully Screened for Trump’s Stunt Visit
Working Boat
Up along the north coast of California is a sleepy little town called Ft. Bragg. Over the years Ft. Bragg has been many things, adapting along the way. Mostly now it is a tourist town where folks walk around and discover the past history of this town including the impact of logging the Redwoods in the area to the North Coast fishing.
