President Donald Trump’s visit to Fort Bragg involved carefully selected soldiers, with an alleged directive stating, “No fat soldiers.” During the event, soldiers booed Trump’s political opponents, amid concerns of political partisanship in military settings.
An anonymous commander at Fort Bragg criticized the event, stating, “This has been a bad week for the Army for anyone who cares about us being a neutral institution.” Internal communications indicated that soldiers opposing the administration’s views needed to request removal from the audience.
