Leaders at Minot Air Air Force Base sent a text message that warned airmen about the dangers of being near a conservative rally that featured a speaker from a pro-Trump group.

Text tells service members that participation could jeopardize their military career

Saw this on Google News. Fear mongering and rage-baiting at its finest.

Someone recently questioned why I’d post a link to a Fox News article, as we know them to be full of shit (suggesting that I was spreading their message). I trust Lemmy users to be intelligent enough to know the difference. You need to be cognizant of the enemy’s propaganda to understand the fight.

    This isn’t fear mongering. You cannot participate in political rallies etc in uniform.

    Edit: this is more of a weekend safety brief thing

    At issue was a planned Nov. 17 event dubbed the “Dakota Patriot Rally” at the state fairgrounds in Minot, and the text warned personnel “to be cautious” if they were in the area, especially because some rally-goers “could be confrontational to military members.”

      I can’t find the original, supposedly it was on a snco/nco/amn Facebook page.
