Trump goads the troops into booing California Gov. Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass and attacks them as "incompetent"

As a veteran of another U.S. branch I am disgusted and angered by such unprofessional conduct on the part of some of these soldiers. But, most of the those seen in this brief clip appeared to remain silent. They were not goaded into booing yet the reporting I have read seems to message that...

there was more shared agreement with Trump's inflammatory comments at this event. Military members swear their allegiance to the Constitution, period - an oath I believe they will honor. There are bad actors in uniform today as in days past. But, the main threat is Trump, not our service-members.

"Military members swear their allegiance to the Constitution, period - an oath I believe they will honor." Well, that has NOT been the case in L.A. where journalists and innocent people are targeted with 'non lethal' weapons. Your beliefs need re-examining. www.huffpost.com/entry/journa...

huffpost.comDozens Of Journalists Targeted, Shot, Detained While Covering LA Protests, Press Org Says“I never thought for one moment that I’d actually have to be fearful of law enforcement during a public protest," said one photojournalist hospitalized after getting shot in the leg.

It wasn't military personnel who pulled the trigger. If your general point is that anyone can be a target in all this chaos, then I am in complete agreement with you. I posted earlier about the potential of another tragedy reminiscent of the Kent State Massacre occurring. That would be a tipping..

Former Army type here (went thru Bragg long ago): Today, most troops couldn't repeat the oath if their lives depended on it. Most of them know only the "obey your officers" and don't know or understand the Constitution part at the beginning. They're trained to ignore the Constitution.

Next they’ll be swapping out those red slouchy berets with red dick-sucking maga hats. All of those maga babies have their pacifiers tucked in their pockets so they have something to suck on when Trump ain’t around. I hope they get laughed off the streets of LA. Fucking traitors. ALL OF THEM.

If I listen to this it will just convince me this country is fucked. None of the scenarios I can envision on how trumpamerikkka ends are good. They all end with combat, pain, suffering & death. PLEASE, Mother Future, prove me wrong.

This Marine (my pop)proudly served his country in the Pacific in WW 2. And was a life long Republican. He’d be embarrassed for the men applauding Felon’s behavior. This so called President dodged the draft, never served never supported the troops until it served his sinister purpose

We’re witnessing a coup. It is the 2nd attempt by the sitting president. GOP House & Senate, surrendered DOJ, captured Extortion, conflict of interest, corruption, censorship, unconstitutional lawlessness, all out in the open. How many in the US military are going to comply with unlawful orders?

Trump appeals to the most vile instincts of people. I’d estimate a third of people being ready for some kind of fascism at any given time, all it needs is a demagogue. The majority of military personnel voted for him. And they’d murder for him.

Let's not paint all military as Trump sycophants. You know they screened for MAGA-friendly to be in the money shot. Plus Hegseth probably threatened them if they didn't cheer the dear leader. This is all a charade and meant for us to turn against the military. We need the troops on our side.

Trump is a master of strategic camera placement. I hear people saying that MAGA is throughout the military, but the military is about rules and discipline, so any way you look at it, these soldiers were out of line and should be disciplined.

I don’t know how “on board” the commanders are. There have to be some that know this is wrong but they are just biding their time. At the least this could come up on evaluations, impact promotion. It is frustrating but I have to believe there are still people in the army who know what their job is.

Can't reach anybody anywhere at Fort Bragg right now. Want to know how they so brazenly violated their mission statement. Here is the number for public affairs that nobody answers: (910) 396-4872

This is a coup. A constitutional crisis. They are deporting U.S. citizens and ignoring Supreme Court rulings. Arresting judges. Attacking our rights. Slashing Medicaid. Gutting critical health and essential services. Reject Project 2025. We will not be silenced. NO KINGS. MASS PROTEST. June 14th!

This is disturbing to watch. Why would the military take any part in this hateful man's plan. My family served for generations, and all of them would be ashamed. Thankfully, they are not here to witness this disgraceful display.

Why is he holding one of his campaign style hate rallies for our soldiers? He is ensuring their loyalty to him, that they will fight against HIS enemies, democratic politicians and liberal Americans.

Anyone that has a copy of Jack Smiths final reports need 2 release it. Anyone that has video audio of treasonous actions by DonOld his cabinet or the GOP needs 2 release it. Grinder do your thing call every 1 of them out. We R on our own no court or anyone in Congress will save this democracy.

Guaranteed Fox Trump State TV propaganda is playing 24/7 for our troops❗️ Never normalize the President of the United States of America promoting Lies, Hate and Lawlessness ❗️ This. Is. Not. Normal.

FELON Trump's goal: Undermine Americans' trust in our armed services. Those booing soldiers must be publicly identified & disciplined! They're disgraceful. Bragg Soldiers Who Cheered Trump's Political Attacks While in Uniform Were Checked for Allegiance, Appearance www.military.com/daily-news/2...

military.comBragg Soldiers Who Cheered Trump's Political Attacks While in Uniform Were Checked for Allegiance, AppearanceAs President Donald Trump viciously attacked his perceived political foes, he whipped up boos from the gathered troops directed at California leaders, including Gov. Gavin Newsom.

These soldiers who booed have clearly pledged their loyalty to a dictator-wannabe & have violated their oaths. They should be publicly identified, shamed and dishonorably discharged. They are disgraceful & should never be trusted with the safety of our nation. They are a stain on our U.S. military.

Should’ve would’ve could’ve. Across the country, these people are like snakes that were let out of the pit. They slither everywhere. At our holiday tables, churches, and they pack our groceries. Yes, I sound paranoid. I am a blue dot in a red pit. NEPA (Northeastern Pennsylvania.)

When Democrats take back the House and Senate, THIS needs to be a priority for a hearing/investigation. And every soldier and military leader who booed should be shamed into resigning. This is highly disgraceful conduct. And it results in Americans no longer supporting/trusting our military.

TED's. Typical Enlisted Dudes. Gratitude for military service is deserved, but we fetishize the military unduly. Anyone who has been in or near enlisted troops can tell you how young and dumb they can be. Like these stupid mopes going along with Trump's detestable, anti-American goading.

That's the "Thank you sir; may I have another?" contingent. Not everyone in the services is down with Authoritarianism and/or social dominance hierarchies... Thankfully, some of the more thoughtful folks see service as service.

Yeah, I know a lot of the forums dog on Hegseth all the time, but I just don’t understand how anyone who values service and country could support a draft dodger who routinely disrespects them behind closed doors while cutting their benefits.

He wants a fight, he wants protestors to do something so he can decale martial law and sadly he wants people killed. There need to be huge PEACEFUL protests and carry American flags. When he orders soldiers to open fire they need to understand how disgusting that order is.
