Well yeah. Uniformed servicemen are not going to be going to a protest.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Dude when middle school students think you're uncool, you really have no future.
This sounds like I am kidding but I am not.
If you're SO uncool that fucking MIDDLE SCHOOL KIDS are paying negative attention to someone over the age of 30, that person sucks.
Yeah, that's hardcore. There's always the middle school angst, but for public figures to get this treatment, it's damning.
I glazed over this important qualifier. Yeah, if kids that age know who you are and it’s not because they want to be you, you suck.
Especially when the disdained entity is an expected "foreign dignitary"... 😂 🤣
Hopefully the armed forces feel the same way about him when he gives an illegal order to fire on American citizens.
From my time in, I would say most don't like him but also most to want to rock the boat.
Is pete allowed around children?
You're thinking of Matt Gaetz. I know it's easy to get them confused. Pete is the guy who has to blow into a breathalyzer to start his car.
And his second wife had safe words during texts to call for 3rd party help ie police and emergency services I assume. According to his second wife's sister.
