Real Disrespect of the Flag
 

During Trump's interview with Sean Hannity in a hangar at an Air National Guard base in Pennsylvania, just before they start discussing the NFL Flag controversy, Retreat sounded.

Retreat marks the end of the day and is played during the Flag ceremony as the Flag is retired for the evening. During Retreat you are supposed to stand and face the Flag. If the Flag is not in sight then you are supposed to face the Music. You stand quietly, if in uniform you salute, until the last note of Retreat.

Instead of respecting the Flag by stopping talking as they should, Trump and Hannity continued the interview. Trump paused and stated that it was such a nice sound and asked if they were playing it to honor him and then joked about them playing it to honor Hannity and his ratings. They then continued the interview right through Retreat.

Now, that is disrespect to the Flag. That the Commander-In_Chief does not know enough, or care enough to know proper Flag etiquette is shameful. That he can fan the flames for the past weeks over the NFL players taking a knee in protest and call that disrespectful and then talk and joke right through Retreat is astounding and shows that he does not know the least bit about respecting the Flag.

In this video, the interview on Fox, Retreat starts at about the 18:22 mark. If you watch the video, you will see several people at the back of the room stand up as Retreat is sounded. A little further on, at aboout 18:47 you will see more people at the back stand up as they realize they are hearing Retreat. At 19:18 Retreat is completed and at about 19:26 you can see the people in the back trake their seats.




The instructions for Reveille and Retreat are in this video. The pertinent instructions are at about the 30 second mark. The procedures are the same for Reveille and Retreat.

This ignorant ass is our Commander in Chief. What a fucking joke.

All of this "respect for the flag" bullshit is pretty stupid. Most of the people making a big deal about it have never served their country. I was in the military, and I don't give two fucking shits if someone salutes the American flag or pisses on it.

It's that person's right to do either. Loving America is not a binary choice. Everyone can stick their feigned outrage up their stupid asshole.

This post was not aimed at you Sarettah.

It's just a flag...no need to go all north Korea about it...

He is just dumb. He knows nothing. At the end of it he is trying to do math and screws it up.

Don't do as I do, do as I tell you to.

Bring back the *good ol' days* :upsidedow

Salute YOUR Flag!

He went to a military academy for several years as a kid. He must have skipped that part.

You can think that way if you choose. I too served and I think 180 the opposite of you.

Trump missed flag respect 101 when he dodged the draft..

I wouldn't know half of the decorum rules pertaining to a flag, and music at ceremonies excetera so I forgive people who don't know those social rules like I don't but if you went to military school & learned those rules but ignore then, that's nasty.

Kneeling in protest is fine if you start burning the flag shitting on it dragging it through the mud or whatever that disgusts me :2 cents:

Bahahahahahahaha. Narcissistic clown.


:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup


Neither would I, but you would expect that a President should know.

and music at ceremonies excetera so I forgive people who don't know those social rules like I don't but if you went to military school & learned those rules but ignore then, that's nasty.

It doesn't disgust me, but I would say that its a useless form of protest. After all, it's not always what the flag represents that you may be protesting against - its the people like Trump abusing what it represents.

The main thing anyone protesting needs to do is to get the message out in a peaceful way. Kneeling is so perfect for this, and its a simple thing that most anyone can do if they want to join the protest.

The fucking potus should know the rules if a private in the army is expected to know them. Complete disrepect to all Americans, he needs to be deported to Russia..

^^ Truth

We all know he doesn't give two shits about the flag. He like to deflect attention away from real problems by throwing out a shiny object to keep his supporters happy.

I see he's signing another EO! I thought republitards despised them...oh wait! it's ok when their guy does it.

I remember them going on the offensive when Obama did it. How great leaders don't need to use EOs. Even with control of congress chump can't do shit but sign them!

Notice he didn't sign a EO to ban bumpstocks...

Wave the flag :upsidedow

"Alot of countries are starting to respect America again"
Chump

lol what a fucking moron

WOW!!! This is great! Every GFY Red-hat should watch this.

:thumbsup

.

They will say. He had to use EOs to undo Obama's EOs. They have an excuse for eveything

i think he meant they WILL start to respect america again when he is history.
even erdogan does not like him anymore and i really don´t know even one single country in the world where america did not lose sympathy and respect.

is there one if yes wich one ?
