(2,594 posts)the idea that the republicans are "military friendly" is said again and again with no hint of irony.
And officers are some of the worst offenders. I've seen them post pictures of themselves during some of Trumps photo ops with the military and it isn't the posting that is the bad part, there are folks that think of our politicians as some sort of celebrity, rather than our employee (to me royalist who want a king in policy and reality); but the worst part is the idiotic grins like schoolgirl at a Bieber concert look. It is really nauseating that they have so little respect for themselves, their service, and their unit.
I had to stop an officer at the same unit who was harassing a 3rd class petty officer because he was angry she was a liberal.
I tried over the years to promote the idea that the Coast Guard needs civil rights training for the rights of the public, not for themselves, but I doubt it will ever happen.
