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.

The only thing that stood out to me was the high heels and skirt instead of proper trousers.
She's hot and it's pro-Trump. Why should they care if it's real or not if it tickles their...confirmation bias?
Yes, people are really overthinking this. These are enthusiastic Trump voters. It’s not like they voted for Trump, but are otherwise intelligent, rational people in all other respects. The same disordered thinking that led to their voting choices impacts every aspect of their lives.
Even without the technical knowledge of military uniforms, one look at any of these and my mind is just screaming "probably fake".
IDK why exactly.
I think it's mostly that she's so young and beautiful and doesn't have that vapid dead-behind-the-eyes look that most MAGA women do. She looks like a happy vivacious young woman, not like a highly decorated military officer.
IDK how to say this but if women like her actually existed we would already be overrun with real photos of them in the oval office.
The other red flags that don't require technical knowledge that trip the "probably fake" alert buzzer:
Who takes a selfie with POTUS in the oval office?
Why is she wearing a crop top that looks like it's from cost-co?
Why is she standing around on a ship in high heels looking serious?
Why is she walking around on a military base with Trump without the usual entourage?
The literal first photo in the article has the American flag patch on her arm backwards. Not flipped like a mirrored image, like the “physical object” is constructed backwards….
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.
I admit my ignorance and appreciate the correction. But now I’m just also annoyed at how stupid that sounds.
How about high heels on a carrier...
Thanks for all the checks
What if hardly anybody did but Democrats are ready to believe that Republicans are this stupid. Divide and Conquer.
They are already that stupid for being maga in the first place.
Wanting to make America great again is good. The problem is that they don't understand that it is a lie. I think it's stupid to hate them and let the elite harvest their hopes instead of talking to them and winning them over for a better society.
You can literally see them losing their shit on its IG dude.
How many post there?
If only there were some way you could find out....
If only I would need to click to know that it's not millions and only is a self-selected group of thirsty frustrated people.
