MRFF’S MIKEY WEINSTEIN LAMBASTES

DRILL SERGEANT UNDER INVESTIGATION 

FOR MAKING SOLDIERS DO PUSH-UPS

UNDER “ULTRA MAGA COUNTRY” FLAG



“There is something known as the 13th Stroke Theory, which

asserts that ‘like the 13th stroke of a crazy clock’ something

can be so unimaginable and inconceivable that it casts doubt

not only upon that hour, but indeed on all that precede it.


“This wretched example of a U.S. Army drill sergeant at Fort Benning, Georgia, horribly abusing his authority and using ultra MAGA as a cudgel and weapon against his helpless U.S. Army basic trainees is the quintessential example of that theory. 


“Indeed, If THIS unconstitutional train wreck happened,

how many other places is it happening?”


— MRFF Founder and President Mikey Weinstein

MRFF Founder and President Mikey Weinstein’s

statement on Staff Sgt. Thomas Mitchell’s

“grotesque abuse of command authority”

There is something known as the 13th Stroke Theory, which asserts that “like the 13th stroke of a crazy clock” something can be so unimaginable and inconceivable that it casts doubt not only upon that hour, but indeed on all that precede it.


This wretched example of a U.S. Army drill sergeant at Fort Benning, Georgia, horribly abusing his authority and using "ultra MAGA” as a cudgel and weapon against his helpless U.S. Army basic trainees is the quintessential example of that theory. 


Indeed, If THIS unconstitutional train wreck happened, how many other places is it happening?


We at MRFF know that this grotesque abuse of command authority to push the MAGA/Christian nationalist agenda of hate, bigotry, and prejudice is universally ubiquitous! We fight it tooth and nail, night and day, every day and night!


The religion of MAGA, or Ultra-MAGA in this case, is democracy-hating Christian nationalism. Whether it is a sign like this one proclaiming “Ultra MAGA Country" or what happened years ago at the United States Air Force Academy (whom MRFF just sued just the other day in federal court) when the head football coach Fisher DeBerry put a prominent sign in the locker room saying, “We are first and last Christians, we are all members of team Jesus Christ.” It is still a perversion and tortured, twisted violation of our U.S. Constitution. It is not merely unethical and immoral. It is blatantly illegal. And, of course, the Air Force Academy has a long and sordid history of promoting Christian nationalism, which is hardly isolated there in Colorado Springs as it is also found everywhere in the Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, all 18 national security agencies, the Department of Homeland Security (U.S. Coast Guard), and the Department of Transportation (U.S. Maritime Service/U.S. Merchant Marine Academy).


This U.S. Army drill sergeant should be court-martialed aggressively and visibly. However, the most likely thing to happen under this piece of shit, mentally ill, paper tiger president and his disgusting, boot-licking, servile secretary of defense is that this particular U.S. Army drill sergeant will be promoted and accelerated through the ranks. We at MRFF have seen this happen many times.


Just wait and watch!

Drill Sergeant Under Investigation After Having Soldiers Do Push-Ups Under MAGA Flag


By: Steve Beynon


Monday, July 14, 2025


From article:


“Staff Sgt. Thomas Mitchell on Friday uploaded the video to TikTok, showing a group of trainees performing push-ups and burpees in full body armor under a banner that read, ‘This Is Ultra MAGA Country.’ The video was later deleted. But shortly after, Mitchell posted a second video showing the same exercising in the same location, this time with the flag removed. The caption: ‘Cry about it.’”
