The U.S. Army is investigating an incident in which two reservists appeared in uniform with two Democratic delegates from American Samoa during Tuesday’s roll call vote at the Democratic National Convention.
When American Samoa Democratic party leaders Patti Matila and Aliitama Sotoa appeared on a beach to cast their delegation’s votes for nominee Joe Biden, some questioned the propriety of two unidentified masked soldiers from the 9th Mission Support Command appearing silently behind them. The Department of Defense (DoD) does not allow members of the military to appear in uniform during partisan events, such as a political convention.
