Trump can fly to Bragg, give a campaign rally in front of uniformed troops, and tell them how to vote—and that’s just “patriotic.” But 6 veterans in Congress remind the same troops they must refuse illegal orders, and his DOJ tries to brand it sedition. It’s authoritarian hypocrisy.

Well he can't do regular rallies anymore, only ones where people are required to attend. Remember he was back to doing rallies 3 months into his first term, none of that this time around.

What's not very public because little donny dick-tator's regime didn't want it getting out... Fortunately Bragg was not renamed for the traitorous confederate general, it was renamed for Pvt. Roland Bragg, WW2 soldier who earned the Silver Star and Purple Heart during the Battle of the Bulge.

That chicken shit, draft dodging PUNK who has called by brothers & sisters who paid the ultimate price in defending our country "suckers" & "losers" shouldn't be allowed to set foot on a military base, let alone conduct one of his lie and hate filled rallies! This proud Vet says ROT IN HELL TRUMP!

Hopefully most of them know..The Phedophile/Murderer is in the Files ..Over a million times.. Any one to vote for any Republican at this time... You have evil within you..You need to address it with Jesus.

I have one query, if Mr. Trump was performing as a campaigner, he was protected, however, as President and Commander in Chief official position, it is more likely Mr. Trump was ordering U.S. soldiers to follow his commands and vote GOP only.

This is him checking how much support he has within the military. If he gets a big enough positive reaction he will look to the next step which is military enforced dictatorship. He needs the military support for the second coup attempt.

While I was serving I would have been sickened to hear something like this. I would have hated Trump, but, I would have continued serving proudly, knowing that I was serving the American people, defending our way of life, and knowing that if he gave an unlawful order, I'd tell him to fuck off.

He’s asking his self proclaimed Losers & Suckers to vote for him. Many of them will, seemingly willing to go off the cliff for him. My daddy (USN - service death) is spinning so fast I might have to check the stability of his tombstone

"There is a strong argument to be made that part of the reason our 70-year life-time interregnums between fascist risings is because there is a perception on the part of lay-fascists that there are no long-term consequences -- most Nazis weren't punished." Sink them for 70 years Vote them out
