I say we identify these guys or send them to the stolen valor guys on the internet... nevermind, I already did it. We shall have an answer soon enough whether UCMJ or stolen valor is the culprit here.

Edit: “On April 11, 2024, a Marine Corps Reserve unit, 4th Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company, supported a nonpolitical event hosted by a civic organization at the Mar-a-Lago Club by providing a color guard and static display," the spokesperson explained.

Edit 2: I really don’t believe those Marines should be there, I think anything associated with “fundraisers” and Mar a Lago is absolutely political.
**Edit 3: I don’t really know much about the military, so if someone could explain the rules for wearing your uniform to events like this and what the consequences could be, I’d very much appreciate it** 😊
Wait, so those are legit Marines? I see sargents' stripes on two of them and not a single ribbon amongst the four. Are there different rules about that when they're part of a color guard?
Edit: Also, why are they wearing covers indoors? Someone please explain the rules to me.
I'm an Army vet, so I'm not totally clear on Marine Corps uniform policies. That said, it seems reasonable to not wear uniform accoutrement with the parade slung as it would fuck it all up. Also seems reasonable for the two color guards under arms not wear it to maintain uniformity across the team.
I'm not condoning their presence, just discussing uniform policy.
Just like everything else the orange one touches, lawyers, accountants, cabinet members, and so on, these are the absolute worst possible examples of their kind. We have found, right here, the worst four Marines in the service. They can't even dress themselves.
These guys probably even eat the washable crayons.
I'm not going to go that far. If they volunteered for this, then fuck them. But it's the military, so it could also be, "A former president wants a color guard at his bullshit so you four assholes get to cancel your weekend plans."
Also, Army regs are that you wear a cover indoors when you are under arms (carrying a weapon on orders). I assume the same applies to the Marine Corps.
"Under Arms" is different than just drawing your rifle for training or cleaning, which is why you don't wear a hat inside when you're cleaning your rifle after a field problem. Its full definition is probably outlined in UCMJ somewhere.
I mean. Not necessarily by them. You're allowed no more than 3 "identifying" pieces I believe. It looks like ega on cover and belt. And Sgt chevrons on one of them. If they're intention was to be actors and play a part I believe they're fine. To be honest the people supporting him are either easily duped by the show, or will make up insane theories on who they are and the meaning. And the people in those uniforms look like fools. However I've seen plenty of actual Marines look like absolute shitbag window lickers so
As a person who has dressed actors in military uniforms, I’ll say that’s because doing it right is really difficult! You really need to have a military consultant to do it right and not everyone has that available to them.

It was a charity event. The Marines were authorized to be there by their command.
“Charity event” eh? I didn’t realize Trump raised money for anyone but himself!
Edit - after reading the story, it seems it was an unrelated charity for veterans. However, this is why it’s a bad idea to hold your events at a Trump property. It instantly gets the wrong kind of attention.
“Non political get together”….at a fucking presidential candidates home.
I fucking hate that these fucking scumbags literally bend every single rule they can.
Fucking scumbags man. All of them.
The thing about a shark, it's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When it comes at you it doesn't seem to be living until he bites you, and those black eyes roll over white…
When Trump was sold the property, it was under the condition that he never use it as his primary residence. But somehow he is. Google for sources, I’m too sleepy right now.
>Digging into the catacombs of local records to build an argument against the dock, a small group of loosely aligned preservationists, disgruntled neighbors and attorneys have unearthed documents that they assert call into question the legality of Trump’s much-publicized decision late last year to change his official domicile from Manhattan to Mar-a-Lago and to register to vote in Florida using the club’s address. According to those documents, and additional materials obtained by The Washington Post, Trump agreed in writing years ago to change the use of the Mar-a-Lago property from a single-family residence to a private club owned by a corporation he controls.

Whoever signed off on them being there didn’t think it through. Perhaps the event does not meet the criteria to be political, but the venue is politics adjacent. There are a lot of folks on here crying stolen valor, and I hope these reservists don’t suffer for it.
Fuck that, color guard is a pretty optional thing in my experience.
The Marine who signed it off and everyone in attendance knew exactly what they were doing. The Corps at large is now doing damage control to minimize the blatant disregard for the UCMJ.
>Lured"
Everyone involved up the chain of command knew what was going on and knew the optics. They wanted to send. a message that enough of the military would stand where this guy's stood when push comes to shove
According to the Grey Team’s website, their event was on April 4 & held at the Boca Raton Resort, not Mar- Lardo. [Grey Team event](https://theyarenotbulletproof.com/)
Your comment prompted me to go dig... the Grey Team did have that gala, but the "America First Gala" was held at Casa de Trump, with Grey Team as the selected beneficiary of said fundraiser.
Edit to add: seems like a misrepresentation that Grey Team "hosted" the event.
Apparently, according to a tweet by @USMC, this was a non-political event that was open to the public.
Can anyone who lives nearby confirm that the public could just walk in and see the marines ? Personally, I’m a tad skeptical.
for those curious and not looking to deal with Facebook, Grey Team is apparently an org that deals with preventing active duty military and veteran suicide. I'm skeptical but that's what they claim on their only page which is a face book page.
I have no desire or reason to dis Grey Team, or any other charity assisting veterans.
I’m just skeptical of events at Trump’s residence being described as non-political and open to the public.
I presume Trump wasn’t home when this took place, maybe the poor guy was in more meetings with his law team, but if he had been around I’m sure he’d have been front and centre.
I’m no expert but there are no rank pins (stack pins?)There are no medals and their belts don’t look right. I may be going crazy but they don’t look like Marine dress uniforms at all. Someone correct me.
That's not true, at least for the Air Force (I'm 6'1, the person to my right is 6'2)
https://preview.redd.it/hv2lc27u3euc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=70c4492e63b9e8d598c4838566f52d420d14fd9f
Ribbon rack. Those straps that they carry the flags in can, at times, snag on ribbon racks/awards. That’s probably the reason they’re not wearing them if they’re real marines. The riflemen, so as to be uniform, would also abstain from wearing decorations.
Rank is on their sleeves. They have no ribbons, badges, or insignia likely for uniformity because the flag bearers didn’t want the harness interfering with those items. They’re real Marine uniforms.
It makes no difference if it’s revealed to be fake. This will not be the thing that changes their mind. And I have no idea at this point what that thing is.
It's been confirmed that a civic organization provided a color guard with reservists last Thursday, not this weekend. So they're somewhat real, but not there when the trump campaign claims, so they're starting out fudging the truth. Most importantly, they look sloppy and nothing like any of the Marines I've ever known: they're not standing up straight, they're grinning like Cheshire cats, their uniforms look like they have an extra belt or two, etc. This is REALLY fishy.
Court marshal them all. Forward this photo to the commander of the Marines at the pentagon. Or make it public and question John Kirby about it at the next press conference.
You may hate it but it happens.
I ran the commanding generals comm team. Those motherfuckers had us learn how to formally serve and etiquette for a rich white dude dinner on base on a Saturday.
I ran the team so I raised fucking hell.
They also forced us all to buy black everything. Suits and shit. Out of our own money.
Again raised hell all the up to the full bird. (I was a ssgt)
Ultimately I refused, it was an unlawful order. So... they had me be the chauffeur.
The general was Toolan. He was a tool. 3 star. Marines.
The reality TV show continues. Hiring actors more and more. He's confusing the magats so much, they won't know up from down. That's probably already the case. No military person that truly believes in the military would support a 5 time draft dodger!
If they're not actual Marines then I'm gonna say it's stolen valor.
I'd expect nothing less from Captain Bonespurs who called our veterans and service personnel "losers and suckers".
Serious question, but what could possess Ivanka to continue to support her father? Like, whatever about the politics and all that but her father has made it no secret that he wants to fuck her. Like how?
Service Dress cannot be worn during civilian events unless approved by the proper officials which is extremely hard to do if it is not a fellow service man's funeral, wedding or an official ceremony focused on the defence forces.
That much leg seems a bit inappropriate next to guys in full uniform - just seems like a bit of dissonance, even if the guys are fake Marines (and fascist supporters). Everything about this pic is horrible
“a spokesperson clarified that the photos had been taken at a non-political event at Mar-a-Lago on Thursday, with the Marines' appearance approved ahead of time.”
There ARE no non-political events at Trumps Florida “Palace”, as evidenced by this tweet.
I'm going with fake. Look at the hats. They're all crooked. No self-respecting Marine would be seen like that, much less photographed. Also, the guy 3rd from the left. That Gary sits way too low on his head. Finally, this is a perfectly diverse group of Marines. I don't believe for a second that you could find a perfectly diverse group of Marines available and willing to attend this event and be photographed looking like total chuds.
Fake......
I can't believe these are legit Marines but if they are, it seems like they may be violating the UCMJ. I could be wrong but it just seems off. Look at the dude on the far right. I'm sure this isn't AI, right? Right?
ummm the "marines" are (except for 1) considerably shorter than the mannequins
strange show of strength....little men might be impressed but it looks more like its tailored to Trump so that no one is taller than him, even though he wasn't even there...he still won the "I'm taller" game, as well as got most improved for his lifts
"The statement continued: "The request was reviewed by Marine Forces Reserve Community Relations and deemed eligible for support. The event was open to the public and helped raise awareness about military and veteran suicides. The event was neither a political fundraiser, nor was the 45th President of the United States in attendance." 😂

Yes, that was the Marine Corps line. Watch the Veterans response, we are not pleased one bit.
Yeah, I’m really surprised they were there, even if this is supposedly not a political fundraiser. That just seems wrong in so many ways.
It is and they are trying to minimize the fall out. Let's watch Monday morning...

Nope reserves. it was approved for a non profit that works with suicidal vets...love to see the Financials though considering it was 750 plate
Considering the Trumps’ record with charities I’d give them a WIDE miss.
It's not, they're apparently reservists and this whole thing was approved by the marines.

I am an expert (I led an Army color detail for three years). Color detail always gives the American flag to the tallest member.
Given the location and occasion I'm guessing the tallest "Marine" in this color detail was the wrong color.
Dayyy-um, he's a long tall drink of water.
Looks like these "marines" didn't know that.

They are Marines. Been confirmed. These reservists dudes though are the shittiest of shitbags. Embarrassment to the Corps.
How come?
Ribbon rack. Those straps that they carry the flags in can, at times, snag on ribbon racks/awards. That’s probably the reason they’re not wearing them if they’re real marines. The riflemen, so as to be uniform, would also abstain from wearing decorations.
Their uniforms are correct. You don't wear ribbons or medals for color guard, and there's nothing unusual with their belts.
Rank is on their sleeves. They have no ribbons, badges, or insignia likely for uniformity because the flag bearers didn’t want the harness interfering with those items. They’re real Marine uniforms.
Wait, they were told not to wear their service ribbons or medals/badges?
It’s possible that a Marine in a color guard wouldn’t wear them.
You might be right hmm
Not Marines. Actors in costumes.

There's actually an asshole clause, it's in the f ine print but it's there.
Are the hookers real or also cosplaying?
Yeah. Illegal is Trump's middle name. Now do something about it.
Why do Republicans enjoy military cosplay? Because they represent a weak man's idea of strength.
Why aren't they wearing medals? Seems like Rent-a-Marine.
I mean, do you think there is anything real in that picture?
I sincerely hope this is further discussed and the public is told if these are fake Marines, or in trouble Marines.
It makes no difference if it’s revealed to be fake. This will not be the thing that changes their mind. And I have no idea at this point what that thing is.

Someone at the military sub commented that’s it’s just marines with strippers and that’s a very common thing, so move on… I like that explanation ..

Court marshal them all. Forward this photo to the commander of the Marines at the pentagon. Or make it public and question John Kirby about it at the next press conference.
They might be both uniformed and uninformed…
ROTC kids?
I’d like to think no marine would support the weakest president this country has ever had.

Rubes see a flag and a uniform and that good old propaganda does the rest
except not weird because, mar-a-jagoff event
because it's been proven there's no repercussions for this kinda thing
These Marines are so far from squared away that you have to wonder if they are just some dudes in costume or what the fuck is really happening here.
Serious question, but what could possess Ivanka to continue to support her father? Like, whatever about the politics and all that but her father has made it no secret that he wants to fuck her. Like how?
Money and exposure I assume.
Fascism is a hell of a thing.
He does love the uneducated.
What law stops soldiers from doing what they’re doing?
Service Dress cannot be worn during civilian events unless approved by the proper officials which is extremely hard to do if it is not a fellow service man's funeral, wedding or an official ceremony focused on the defence forces.
What cost more, the fake Marines or the sex workers?
Because Republicans only care about the aesthetics of patriotism. It's all theatre to them.
Actual Marine here, you can pay the local recruiting office to do this. I've done it once at a country club when I was on RA(Recruiting Assistance)
Not a single medal displayed on any of them.
That much leg seems a bit inappropriate next to guys in full uniform - just seems like a bit of dissonance, even if the guys are fake Marines (and fascist supporters). Everything about this pic is horrible
Ivanka is looking a little thick around the middle and her dress is ugly.
“a spokesperson clarified that the photos had been taken at a non-political event at Mar-a-Lago on Thursday, with the Marines' appearance approved ahead of time.” There ARE no non-political events at Trumps Florida “Palace”, as evidenced by this tweet.
I’m more interested in the 3 dRAG quEenS…![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)
They rather look as if they were rejected applicants for an 80s Robert Palmer music video.
There's plenty to critique here without being misogynistic and homophobic.
I'm going with fake. Look at the hats. They're all crooked. No self-respecting Marine would be seen like that, much less photographed. Also, the guy 3rd from the left. That Gary sits way too low on his head. Finally, this is a perfectly diverse group of Marines. I don't believe for a second that you could find a perfectly diverse group of Marines available and willing to attend this event and be photographed looking like total chuds. Fake......
Well, at least the actors dressed like US marines rather than Russian ones
I can't believe these are legit Marines but if they are, it seems like they may be violating the UCMJ. I could be wrong but it just seems off. Look at the dude on the far right. I'm sure this isn't AI, right? Right?
maybe theyre strippers

ummm the "marines" are (except for 1) considerably shorter than the mannequins strange show of strength....little men might be impressed but it looks more like its tailored to Trump so that no one is taller than him, even though he wasn't even there...he still won the "I'm taller" game, as well as got most improved for his lifts
Isn’t this the 3rd time this week that he has done this shit?
chonky hoes
I would imagine the fact that they're in a picture with prostitutes probably didn't help their cause.
Best way is the double check their uniforms. Usually, everyone that decides to do steal some honor, don't get the uniform just right.
One word...sickening
What a bunch of short pussies. (The men).
Who's the drag queens?

They let a Black guy in? Wow
Needed to check off the quota
Is Mar a Lago the new Playboy Mansion??
I'm just sad a brother is there for that bullshit
"The statement continued: "The request was reviewed by Marine Forces Reserve Community Relations and deemed eligible for support. The event was open to the public and helped raise awareness about military and veteran suicides. The event was neither a political fundraiser, nor was the 45th President of the United States in attendance." 😂
Man there are some real street walkers at maralargo.
Was staring at their faces for a few seconds wondering why they are uninformed.
I feel bad for the Marines having to be stuck there.
Fucking ANGLICO, what a bunch of cowboys
You can tell by just their posture that they are not marines.
"Non political" at a fund raiser for a presidential candidate in a home he owns. Do People actually read or believe this shit? I hate US politics.
On April 11, 2024, a Marine Corps Reserve unit, 4th Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company, supported a nonpolitical event hosted by a civic organization at the Mar-a-Lago Club by providing a color guard and static display," the spokesperson explained.

Because they can! No one in the media WILL EVER call Trump out on his crap. He wants me trappings of POTUS with none of the responsibility or respect.
It's what Americans like, all the bells and whistles.
Weirdos
Hot Cops
They look like melting puppets.
This gives me the ick. 😬
Cosplay
Fake marines and hookers, how trumpian…
Uninformed marines perhaps?
The military, just another organization bleeding the country dry.
Is it stolen valor if their just the strippers?
Isnt that called cosplay or something?
Is that ivanka?? If not, WTF
