The US Army issued a stark rebuke of former President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign over the incident on Monday at Arlington National Cemetery, saying in a statement on Thursday that participants in the ceremony “were made aware of federal laws” regarding political activity at the cemetery, and “abruptly pushed aside” an employee of the cemetery.
The US Army published a measured response to the implicated poor behavior of an on duty servicewoman at ANC.
The Army would very much object to this being categorized as “against” Trump. Rather in defense of their service members and their correct actions.
The Army is careful not to overextend itself on political rhetoric and invite too much politics directly.
Yeah for them to say this much is a big deal considering they like to stay out of this stuff. It’s pretty much a harsh repudiation coming from them.
