Biden ditches military flags as part of Oval Office makeover

[Lightbringer]

Really?

Commissioned in 1999 as an infantry officer, Vindman received a Purple Heart medal for wounds he received from an IED attack in the Iraq War in 2004.
Vindman became a foreign area officer specializing in Eurasia in 2008, and assumed the position of Director for European Affairs with the NSC in 2018.

In July 2020, Vindman retired after 21 years in the military.

A person not on active duty who served honorably in time of war in the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps may bear the title, and, when authorized by regulations prescribed by the President, wear the uniform, of the highest grade held by him during that war.

November 11, 2019

Appearing at his Oct. 29 deposition in full dress uniform, the decorated Army officer Vindman, now a White House National Security Council Ukraine expert, was the first witness who had actually listened to the phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that is at the heart of the Democratic impeachment campaign.

Vindman was still active duty.

True but AFAIK that's only for ceremony. I can wear my uniform but only for VFW/American Legion functions. I can't wear it to work.

Did the regs change? I need a link on this.

Exactly, why would Dotard, the draft dodger, who called troops "suckers and losers"?

Described HIS Vietnam service “It’s amazing, I can’t even believe it. I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world, it is a dangerous world out there. It’s like Vietnam, sort of. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave solider,” Trump said in the interview when Howard Stern asked how he handled making sure he wasn’t contracting STDs from the women he was sleeping with.

Waiting for the link for your bogus claim numbnuts.

Regulation 670-1, Chapter 3, Section 3-5 says about wearing the uniform at national, regional, and local events:

When Army participation in a public event has been approved in accordance with AR 360–1, commanders are responsible for determining the appropriate uniform for the event. Generally, protocol standards dictate standards of dress. For instance, when an invitation calls for business attire, the appropriate Army uniform is the service or dress uniform. However, in some instances, the Class C uniform may be appropriate.

Chapter 10, Section 11-3 says about the occasions for wear:

a. All-purpose wear. The male service/dress uniform is authorized for wear on and off duty, on and off the installation, unless restricted by the commander. The male service/dress uniform is not intended for wear as an all- purpose uniform when other uniforms are more appropriate.
b. Approved wear. The male service/dress uniform is prescribed for year-round wear for all Soldiers, unless otherwise directed by the commander. Soldiers may wear variations of the male service/dress uniform:
(1) On duty when prescribed by the local commander.
(2) At social functions of a private or official nature, either before or after retreat, and while in transit to and from such functions. The male service/dress uniform is normally considered appropriate for social or official functions off the installation, such as memorial services, funerals, weddings, inaugurals, patriotic ceremonies, and similar functions.
(3) When designated by the host of an event.
(4) On other appropriate occasions, as desired by the individual.

[Lightbringer]

You don't even know were and when you can wear your uniform?

What is it with you people? I know you didn't serve. You stated something as a fact. I asked for the reg. You didn't supply it, you gave me "mediaite".

Ok, whatever loser.

Taking the Trump U. reading 'comprehension correspondence course seemed like such a bargain at time, Dotard doesn't give refunds.

Vindman testified in October of 2019.

Vindman retired in July of 2020, moron.

You have apparently not figured out that my question to you was rhetorical. I already know what the regulations say.

Thank you for the entertainment. Good night now.

I don't have to mention it, I didn't make the claim monkey-boy, you did. I know the regulations I'm subject to. It was fun though watching you run around trying to pull veritas from mediaite. Thanks for the laughs.

President Joe Biden took the oath of office Wednesday, and with new presidents come new White House decorations – especially in the commander-in-chief’s official workplace.

And so it’s no surprise that staffers have moved around a lot of things, from artwork to the carpeting inside the Oval Office.

One change the Biden administration made was to remove the military flags that had been on display during Donald Trump’s term in office.

National Guard troops are forced out to sleep in open garages , now I think we know why...Dims hate the military

what a stupid fuck whiner bitch you are!! trump got 4 student deferments, paid a doctor to lie about him having bone spurs, then called dead soldiers chumps and losers, said he preferred his heroes to never have been captured even after he did everything he could to avoid EVEN SERVING IN COMBAT, refused to lower the WH flag to half mast for a few days after McCain died like a petulant piece of shit punk, but he apparently had military flags so that makes him a patriot?

do you know what a punk ass sissy you sound like when you act like soldiers having to sleep in a concrete garage is somehow torture? what a fucking pussy!! hell, girl scouts could do it and have a good time, little bitch!!

The usurper was a draft-dodger. 5 deferments.

did he pay a doctor to lie about him having bone spurs, bitch? taking legal draft exemptions for education IS NOT DRAFT DODGING, DUMBFUCK.

and why do you call the person who kicked trump's ass fair and square in a fair election a "usurper," brain dead pig?

 

[Bulletbob]

Well, there you go, why should Biden display any military flag in his office if he wasn't a veteran?

Would you put a USMC specialty tag on your vehicle if you never in the Marines?

well he is the commander of all branches of the military maybe he should show a little bit of respect for them . thats why dumb ass.

FYI military flags in the Oval Office have been the exception, not the rule.

"Most modern presidents have kept just two flags in the Oval Office — the American flag and the presidential seal typically displayed behind the Resolute Desk. However, Presidents John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon all kept military battle flags in the office during their terms.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who fought as a five-star general in World War II, displayed the Army flag alone across from his desk."

Biden didn't ditch anything, the man is totally clueless. Ie is his little staff of oddballs that are acting to remove and replace with what THEY feel appropriate to their agenda.
Look for all the restrooms to become gender free anytime soon. My God, his appointments so far resemble the cantina scene in Star Wars.View attachment 18837

So what?

That doesn't render the usurper impervious to criticism.
