"As Democrats and Republicans blasted one another during their conventions this month, one of America’s most prominent institutions could end up worse off: the US military.
At both parties’ conventions, US troops appeared on camera in uniform — in possible violation of a longstanding Defense Department policy barring uniformed, active-duty service members from participating in partisan political events. The reason for the directive is pretty straightforward: Having uniformed troops at a partisan campaign event implicitly signals that the party or candidate hosting the event is backed by the nation’s armed forces."

Yes, it is featuring marines at a White House ceremony, however, the overall take away is that this administration, Donald J Trump, is a useless, overweight, lazy, arrogant and selfish commander in chief. When a naval medical officer is willing to lie about the physical and medical conditions of an - otherwise visible - overweight commander in chief, this has to be a red flag for the medical board, the integrity of an officer and justifiable questioning of his integrity. Under pressure or not, one has the responsibilities as a military service member to be honest and have the courage to stand against violations of our military values. When a golden shower, marital cheating, discrimination, harassment, lack of integrity, lack of leadership, lack of responsibility, overall lack of integrity, bullying and fake religious values... where or how do you justify your own actions, how can you vote for this scum and still get on your knees Sunday and proclaim to be a religious man...
If you are willing to stand over a stack of bibles to defend this incompetent man, Donald J Trump l, then do not preach/claim to have greater values compared to the rest of us. You are just a hypocrite pretending to have values based on self declarance, nothing more. This man will grab your daughter by the pussy if he had a chance.. swallow that for a minute.

Those who hate Pres. Trump may be right, but a future Pres Biden will be worse. So who will the haters vote for; bad or worse?

I did see pictures of when both candidates traveled and met troops...those pics are legal, and public property. The two young troops in HI was a mistake that should never have happened. You would think they would have known... But, the campaign could have suggested they step out of the video. Should be an Article 15, but who knows if it will happen....if it does not, then next election we can not complain.
