i.reddituploads.comThere's no way this vehicle is a part of a convoy. In a convoy there would've been way more than enough rank to hem this guy up and remove the flag. It's either a pov or some weekenders playing dress up.

I have a suspicion that this is POV now and no longer active.

I didn't literally mean flying the flag. I was talking about supporting the president.

I'm sure it is. Didn't stop anyone I served with.

No!!!! The military does NOT have to support the president!!!!
They specifically swear loyalty to the constitution rather than a person of political position, that way there is no loyalty from the military. Oh my God, how did you become so misinformed.

Commander in chief. Highest rank in the military. Don't get all caught up in minutia. And beyond that I was taking a piss out of the picture because it's shit some fool put that banner on the whip. Military swears to follow all lawful orders and since the Pres is top dog they have to show loyalty to him/her until illegal orders are given. How are you so ignorant about the chain of command? It's been 15 years or so since I ended my enlistment but I doubt it's changed that much.

They have to fly a Trump flag? Huh, that's weird. I saw lots of military convoys while traveling down the east coast over the past 8 years, and I never saw a single "Obama" flag.

No. They have to accept whoever is president. I was reducing the significance of the flag to just a thing and not actually an endorsement by the military.

The pic and title are conveying, "This particular vehicle is seen here uniquely displaying support for President Trump."
Not "US military supports the president." That is a pointless and obvious thing to say, and is hard to imagine being the subject of an interesting picture.

I don't understand your country's laws too well. But whenever this picture shows up someone links a law that the military showing preference is illegal. Is that legit?

As a member of the US Military it is against regulations to debate politics while in uniform. Knowing that, I would assume that this vehicle is personally owned because there no way someone in charge of the driver would let this happen.

Military is headed by the President. The people still get to choose who they support during the election. And the military isn't supposed to add flags to vehicles like that. I would guess this was some National Guard troops out on their weekend training.
