Military Convoy Flying Trump Flag Belonged to SEAL Unit

By LUIS MARTINEZ - Feb 1, 2017, 8:39 PM ET

The military convoy spotted on Sunday flying a Donald Trump flag near Louisville belonged to an East Coast-based SEAL unit, a Navy spokesperson told ABC News.

Military officials have launched an inquiry to determine if any misconduct can be linked to the incident. Regulations do not permit an unauthorized flag on a military vehicle.

Photos and a video of the convoy spread quickly on social media, with many questioning the identity of the occupants and whether the vehicles belonged to a military unit or were military surplus.

The video shot on Sunday on a highway near Louisville showed the lead vehicle of a convoy flying a large blue Donald Trump flag from an antenna.

The vehicles did not have any identifiable markings and the mystery deepened when local military bases in Kentucky said that the vehicles did not belong to their units.

1. Who ever said

Seals couldn't be racist, sexist, very xenophobic and just plain political idiots. But that's just what these trump chumps want...the world and US fearing them, bannon and the puppet boy-potus not respecting US. A coup has been completely done with the rival Party, Democrats, weak and ineffectual. How are we to defeat this evil that has overtaken us? How???? I'm thinking.....

2. In Trump they trust, huh?

Even after he just got one of their own killed?

3. I suspect the flag will come down after a few more of them are killed in his badly planned war games

He sees them as his own disposable toys in the game of his attempts at personal dominance. They'll learn that lesson the hard way, I guess.

4. Look at the timing.

The raid had been approved. The person flying this flag must have known. He was supporting his commander-in-chief (in a garish way). The raid could have been taking place at the same time as this convoy moved.

I wonder if anyone feels awkward about this.
