President Donald Trump made his first visit to a war zone on Wednesday, receiving an enthusiastic reception from many US troops there -- some of whom may have run afoul of military rules.
Video footage and the written report of Trump's visit with service members in Iraq showed the President signing "Make America Great Again" hats and an embroidered patch that read "Trump 2020."
But troops' requests for the autographs could brush up against Department of Defense guidelines for political activities.
Those guidelines say that "active duty personnel may not engage in partisan political activities and all military personnel should avoid the inference that their political activities imply or appear to imply DoD sponsorship, approval, or endorsement of a political candidate, campaign, or cause."

So sayeth the defender of Dorkbama, the Muslim eunuch quota boy who never ever had a scandal during his grade-school presidency.
Shove it CNN.
Deep, often, and painfully.
As a military type, we all know the president that is respected and the one that got middle fingers extended at him when he wasn’t looking.
COMMUNIST NEWS NETWORK promoting Kremlin’s agenda.
Getting damn bold about it as well.
They had their plan and Clintoon losing f-ed it up.
USA must be destroyed in CNN’s eyes.
Unprecedented!
Give it a break. I’m so sick of the anti-Trump BS.
My Bad, “Loosing”.
Someone is being a real buzz kill.
Does anyone actually watch CNN these days? Yeah, I know about a dozen brain dead libs do, and people trapped in airports. But does anyone else? I guess the proper response is “Who cares what CNN says.”
CNN wouldn’t know what to do if Trump
signed a “I’m with her” hat for one of
the troops.
They have that “Pen”. They would never show it.
They lie by omission every day. It SHALL catch up.
The picture on the wall at our workplace at the base went from Nixon to Ford, to Carter then Reagan. The VP pictures changed even faster.
what about all those troops that brought items for obama to sign? Oh, that’s right, noone did lol
Dearest LIBS . ..STFU.
What if a soldier publicly told a reporter that he had voted for Trump? For Obama? Court martial him? Would it have been against the law for a Union soldier in the Civil War to ask Harriet Beecher Stowe to sign his copy of Uncle Tom’s Cabin? To ask these questions is to answer them.
Totally ridiculous. They’re not wearing MAGA hats as part of the uniform.
...or his a**.
Knowing the media’s love affair with bathhouse barry, I wouldn’t be surprised if they went to the nearest sewage treatment plant to collect his stool samples.
The story started that POTUS Trump brought the Hats with him (and maybe sold them) and the Libtards went nuts with the Fake Story.
Now they attack the Troops.
Typical.
