Navy Seals are expected to risk their lives, continuously, for the United States. Of course they'd be angry at Kaepernick.
Of course they'd try to lighten up a training episode with Kaepernick in effigy, as a humor piece.
If we continue to make our military politically correct, we won't have an effective military anymore. They need team building exercises that create such a strong team bond that they will march into battle with each other, when they think they may all die.
You can't PC the military. Or I guess you can, and then we'll all die.
(This isn't like creating an effigy of a sitting president, this is a sports figure who has openly expressed disdain for the flag).
Disagree. The military absolutely has to be cognizant of its members’ behaviors. Letting politically not-so-correct behavior slide is what enabled sexual assault and misconduct in the military for years. The Navy already affirmed the conduct seen in this video directly violates military codes of conduct and ideals. It is absolutely bizarre to support this type of political display if those involved were active duty and performing official duties.
And if the canines were not performing official duties and were not SEAL members, then they must be reported to the state for a dangerous or vicious dog designation, and the owners must comply with all the rules of ownership.
This is either a matter of military discipline or a matter of public safety. It’s not a joke.

The military has to create bonds within units.
The way they do that is not the way corporate America does that, with corporate America's little bonding parties.
I do have a close friend whose son is a Navy Seal, and this ain't nuthin! This ain't nothin. Hopefully, the Seals (who are the best of the best, the fittest of the fittest, the bravest of the bravest) can somehow conceal their ways of training that would GREATLY shock the rest of America. To create and train a Seal, you have to do SO MUCH WORSE than this silly party stunt.

Or, you could just read more than the headline..
The event depicted in the videos took place at the South Florida Shooting Club in Palm City,
during a fundraiser for the Navy Seal Museum in Fort Pierce, Florida. The museum is not officially affiliated with the SEALs or the U.S. military,
but it lists several retired SEALs on its board of directors and advisory board.
Clearly you missed the point. These dogs were either a part of an official training exercise or they were not. If they were, then the SEALs absolutely have an obligation investigate because training canines to attack people wearing jerseys is breaking protocol and potentially places civilians at risk. If they were NOT part of an official training exercise, then they absolutely must be euthanized for reasons of public safety. Once you train the dogs to associate certain clothing, demeanor, behavior as cues for attack, there is no un-training them. They must be put down.
It is people like you and every single one who thinks this is just some joke that really put animals and the public at risk. It is irresponsible animal ownership and it is a danger to public safety.
This is not a joke.
Are you serious with this nonsense? You do realize that dog trainers all over the country and world train dogs specifically for protection as guard dogs for persons and property? Some of the bad guys might even be wearing jerseys.

I very often agree with your posts. In fact, most of the time I agree with your posts. I'm center, but sort of just left of the center.
But I grew up in a military family.
I went to a university that has a huge military presence.
The military isn't like the rest of us, hellopity. They are trained to reject their own survival instincts, and instead, value the life of others over their own.
THAT is some breaking down of human instincts, and creating other instincts.
Karen Kaepernick is a douche bag but the military is supposed to be professional and apolitical. They'll get fallout for this.
Is Karen his wife?
