'Military' convoy with Trump flag rolls through (Louisville, KY)

http://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/local/2017/01/30/military-convoy-trump-flag-rolls-through/97255844/

Flying a large "Trump" flag, a mysterious convoy of military vehicles rolled down Interstate 65 through Louisville on Sunday morning. But nobody is claiming it.

A spokesman for Ft. Knox, Patrick Hodges, said it wasn't theirs.

Same for the Kentucky National Guard, said Maj. Stephen Martin, director of public affairs.

A Defense Department spokesman, Maj. Jamie Davis, who examined images of the four-truck procession for the Courier-Journal, said he doesn't think it belonged to any service branch — and that the vehicles may have been military surplus.

Probably a bunch of militia chickenhawks.

It is possible to buy old military jeeps and trucks. I think they were probably just Trump supporters in military surplus vehicles rather than an official military convoy.

the January 20, 2017 protest march in my city.

I'm quite sure none of them have ever served in the armed forces.

There were thousands of anti-Trump protestors and only the one truck load of college age frat boy nazis.

These are the boys the Muslim communities of America will wake up to find in front of their houses. Brown Shirts.
