The United States lost six military service personnel in Kuwait due to a drone strike. During the dignified transfer, President Donald Trump controversially wore a white baseball cap, which he didn’t take off. Fox News reported on the dignified transfer but uploaded a different video instead—one wherein Trump was not wearing the cap.
The video of the dignified transfer, dated March 8, featured Trump with a baseball cap. Even during the salute, he did not take the cap off. It is customary to remove headgear when saluting a fallen soldier. Although there is no clear rule for the president to abide by the practice, there is a social expectation to do so.
