1. Well, that's the official position, anyway...

Reality might differ, depending on who you are and what unit you're in.

5. I think the important thing is the Marines, and now the Army have thrown shade at trump*

I haven't seen if the Navy or Air Force have sent similar tweets.

I don't think I've ever seen this sort of thing happen, before.

6. Yes, I agree completely.

However, there is still racism in the military, along with other negative -isms. I'd like to see that end, once and for all.

11. As someone who experienced a specific 'ism', in the military, I totally agree

2. The Army is more inclusive than other branches of the military (n/t)

3. This is one of the officers in Drumpf's Chain of Command.

Good luck with "your Generals" Donald.

7. I'm glad he made a statement. Infestation of the U.S. military by openly professing

white nationalists and Nazis would be a nightmare. Trump is giving them a green light, at the same time he is scapegoating transgender military personnel.

8. Bullshit

Redskin
Nip
Kraut
Gook
Raghead

10. They air Rush Limbaugh on Armed Forces Radio.

That's as good a form of indoctrination as brainwashing.
