It's not 2012 anymore.Not in 2007-2012 when I was there. 1st AD only moved to Bliss in 2011. And the 11th ADA Brigade is still there and occupies most of mainside. The 1st AD occupies a new part of the base on part of Biggs Army Airfield.
Not only this, they were selling MAGA merch. Oops?

Bragg Soldiers Who Cheered Trump's Political Attacks While in Uniform Were Checked for Allegiance, Appearance
As President Donald Trump viciously attacked his perceived political foes, he whipped up boos from the gathered troops directed at California leaders, including Gov. Gavin Newsom.www.military.com
They got caught is what this is saying. No way a vendor just wanders onto a military base.
The news media always lies about this sort of thing. Do you have any evidence?
Say the oponent is unexperienced and clueless and win without a discussion
I didn't comment on how many women I thought were there.
Women were probably screened out.
Are you saying military.com published untruths and fiction?

What I'm saying is the news media are habitual liars. I cannot trust them as a source.
Since immigration agents detained his wife in New Orleans last month, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran has ferried the couple's 9-week-old daughter to a north Louisiana detention facility so she can nurse and visit her mother while the family waits to learn if she will be deported.
...
Clouatre, 25, entered the United States from Mexico with her mother when she was 14, said Carey Holliday, an attorney and former immigration judge who represents the family. Holliday said Clouatre's mother had applied for asylum upon her arrival with her daughter from Mexico. But she failed to arrive for a 2018 trial on the asylum claim, prompting a judge to issue a deportation order for Clouatre as well as her mother.
Clouatre and her husband, Adrian Clouatre, learned of the deportation order a few days before she was summoned to the USCIS appointment in New Orleans on May 27, Holliday said.
When it comes to Donald Trump and interaction with the military they are always liars.They can be good, they can be bad. But one must look at them carefully and not simply believe anything they say just because they agree with your beliefs.
I don't know enough about the source to say either way.And to be honest, I have long felt Military.Com was a piss-poor source. It is incredibly biased, and often writes articles with the intent to enrage the readers without actually giving them actual information or unbiased reporting.
Here is just one example, and while reading it I realized several things.

ICE Arrests Louisiana Mother of 9-Week-Old, Wife of Marine at Immigration Hearing

Now this story on the surface seems amazingly like my own, if my wife and I were incredibly irresponsible.
When we got engaged in 1985, my wife was an immigrant as her parents and sister also came to the US several years earlier. But it was only after we got engaged that she went to her father and demanded her passport, social security card, and everything else relating to her being in the US. And at that time learned she had been only been in the country on a 6 month visitor visa, and had been illegal for over five years. We still got married, but it was rather fun as I was like this guy a Marine, and Admin had to look through a bunch of regulations. But we still walked out of admin with her dependent ID card in hand and her registered in DEERS. As there was nothing in the regulations that prohibited issuing an ID card to somebody who was an illegal alien.
However, this is where the story diverges a hell of a lot. Within 2 weeks we went to a legal aid clinic to find out what to do next. Then we were referred to an immigration lawyer who helped us start the process of her becoming legal. It cost us around $6,000 (close to $18,000 today after inflation), but less than a year later we were at the INS office taking the final step to making her legal. Which was interesting, as of course one of the questions was if the marriage was a real marriage or one just so she could get her residency. And she was about 5 months pregnant at the time.
Yeah I doubt it's impossible for someone to become legal immigrant or citizen in their country they just have to be persistent. And I'm glad to hear this about INS. It seems to go along with my viewpoint if you want to be an American citizen I want you to be an American citizen. What did you have to go about it legally.And in reading this, several things jumped out at me. For one, was she completely unaware of her status? I know my wife was, as even her social security card was a forgery. But she knew she had to have that and a green card, and her father did not have the latter. And in looking at her passport for the first time in years saw the last stamp in it was her entry on a visitor visa, nothing stating her visa had been extended. They likely had well over a year to have started the process to legalize her, but apparently did nothing until the INS came looking for her.
And one thing I learned having to go through the process myself. When somebody goes to the INS, they will bend over backwards to help somebody become legal. And there are a lot of programs to assist somebody in doing that. But in cases like this where they have to go looking for you, then it's really too late. And I really do want to feel sympathy for them, but this is a situation they themselves could have avoided by being more proactive.
Not unlike the cases of veterans that were deported. I have seen dozens of them like that, deported after a felony conviction. And in those cases, I just shake my head as all they had to do was take advantage of the multiple programs while they were in to become a citizen, or simply not break the law once they got out.

A biased source made sure that it wasn't biased with its own metric.Military.com basically quotes the memo. And the audience behind him conformed to the stated requirements.

This is kind of like the police investigated themselves and found that they had done nothing wrong.el

I saw nothing of the sort, as that article is locked behind a paywall. And that wall slams shut well before any memo was quoted.
And this is something I always reject. When somebody quotes some source that can not be verified unless somebody pays them to read it.
As far as I am concerned, the article could be claiming that President Trump is really a giraffe in disguise. I can't say one thing or another, because I can't actually read the claim.
Oh, but I am laughing at the claim that they were checked for "appearance". Gee, can tell who has never served in the military after some lose their minds over that. Imagine that, the military being picky about the appearance of their members who might be seen in a camera. Kinda like how one of my duties as an NCO was checking the appearance of anybody under me on a daily basis.
Wait, you say you are going to the chow hall? Nope, not until you go back upstairs and shave first. And put on a clean uniform blouse, that one's nasty.
"Soldiers appearing near President Donald Trump at a Tuesday speech at Fort Bragg were reportedly screened for their partisan politics and physical appearance.
Ahead of Trump’s visit to the North Carolina base, service members were asked to alert superiors if they had political differences with Trump so they could be removed, Military.com reports, citing internal 82nd Airborne Division communications.
"If soldiers have political views that are in opposition to the current administration and they don't want to be in the audience then they need to speak with their leadership and get swapped out," one note to troops obtained by the outlet said. Another allegedly focused on the troops’ physical appearance, bluntly commanding, “No fat soldiers.”
...During Trump’s visit, a vendor was also reportedly allowed to sell campaign-style Make America Great Again merchandise to troops, and the crowd of soldiers booed and cheered at Trump’s partisan speech, all of which broke with the military’s tradition and regulations around remaining non-political."

Maybe it's just me, but dividing the military between MAGA and everyone else seems like a bad idea.
It's an opt out for those who think it's too political.Maybe it's just me, but dividing the military between MAGA and everyone else seems like a bad idea.

Trump doesn't like fat people, which is quite a reveal, says a lot when you think about it.
The footage I saw, it looked and sounded just like a Trump rally, complete with selling Trump merchandise.
Exactly how many "fat people" are in the Army? Let alone one of the Airborne Infantry units? Hell, when I was a grunt one of my biggest battles was actually not losing weight. Go into late spring at 170, by the fall it was a struggle to remain above 150.

It's his birthday. Trump always overplays anything to do with his egoIt was too political. That's the point. They were selling Trump merchandise and he made a political speech.
It looked and sounded like a Trump rally.
Screening military personnel that are around the president is something every president has done.
