We like this story because it reminds us of Alex Stein calling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez a “big booty Latina” on the Capitol steps. Reportedly, the U.S. Navy yanked a photo down from one of its websites after eagle-eyed viewers noted that the sailor featured in the photo had a “Join the Navy — Save the Big Booty Venezuelans” patch on his sleeve.
⚡️The Pentagon has deleted an image it posted of an American soldier operating on an EA-18G Growler on the aircraft carrier Gerald Ford.

I must have one of these patches. pic.twitter.com/pb3b8OyR7V— Jim Linz (@jim_linz) April 9, 2026
The picture gets cut off, so in the interest of journalism, here’s the whole thing:
“We are aware of an image containing an unofficial and inappropriate patch circulating online,” the Navy said in a statement to The New York Post. “The patch in question is not consistent with uniform regulations, which state patches must be conservative and will be reflective of naval aviation professionalism.”

Heh!
My only problem with this is the image was removed.— Greenbrier (@greenbrier_n) April 9, 2026
Does no one have a sense of humor anymore?

Anybody upset by this is utterly lame and humorless.

Can one purchase shirts with said patches on them, or perhaps a large graphic tee with the same? Asking for a friend.

Does anyone know where to find these glorious patches?

Hilarious. If you can’t appreciate military humor, don’t look.

I’m gonna post it even more now.

Some say it was added through AI, which would be a shame. This needs to be a real patch.
