Any MAGA who fell for this is beyond stupid (plus utterly unfamiliar with the military). Her uniform is wrong (skirt WAYYY too high). No one wears dress uniforms underway at sea in general, ESPECIALLY an enlisted soldier (who would likely be nowhere near a ship, even more especially in dress uniform). The ribbons on her dress uniform not only change from picture to picture, but are also the wrong size (sometimes) and not even actual US ribbons. I’ve never seen a regulation name tag say “US ARMY” and not a name. The undershirt in her camis isn’t regulation. And this was just a quick look at the photos and only tangentially around the Army at work.
Oh and that’s before the visible glitches because it’s AI. This is laughably low effort.
EDIT: Damn, they didn’t even use a real ship as the background. It’s supposed to be a destroyer, and there are no US destroyers with an aft-facing bridge or part of the superstructure forward of the bridge windows. Just truly WTF
EDIT 2.0: I just saw a couple other photos because I got curious. One has her as a one-star general 😂, and a couple others have her wearing a (shitty looking) Combat Infantry Badge, which is only awarded for being in combat. So, I guess women CAN hack it in combat! Hegseth must be in shambles.
Of all the things in the photos that actually made sense. It’s weird, though, and threw me for a loop when I first saw uniforms and such and had to ask back then.
On uniforms, vehicles, etc. the flag is sometimes “backwards” so that the union (the blue and stars) are “forward facing.” The idea is that the flag is flown from the left side in normal orientation, so the union is closest to the pole. If the person or vehicle were carrying a real flag, based on what side a person is observing, the flag may be “mirrored.” In other words, the flag is moving with the person or vehicle and not the opposite way. You’ll see that orientation a lot on American military and para-military uniforms.
I never understood why we don’t just put a normal oriented flag on the opposite shoulder for the same effect, but hey…America is weird.
