The presence of individuals who appeared to be U.S. Marines in full uniform at a recent Mar-a-Lago fundraiser for Donald Trump, the presumed 2024 GOP presidential nominee, raised eyebrows for some online, who pointed out that it could constitute illegal behavior.
"The images first surfaced on Saturday and were said to have been taken at the former president's Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.
In it, three women in dress attire can be seen posing alongside four men wearing full Marine Corps uniforms, two of them carrying the U.S. and Marine flags, while the other two appear to be holding rifles of some kind.
As the image circulated, several people chimed in, noting that the men's presence at the political event in full uniform could be illegal. Some also raised the possibility that the men were not, in fact, real Marines.
"It's either illegal per UCMJ [Uniform Code of Military Justice], or they aren't marines which would be weird," former Representative Adam Kinzinger, an Illinois Republican, wrote in a post.

It would be special if Trump hired undocumented migrants to play the role of the soldiers.

Lyrics excerpt...
...
Why have I always been a failure?
Why have I always been a failure?
Why have I always been a failure?
What can the reason be?
Talking to myself at stations
Slipping in the pouring rain
Ripped my new shirt
Pocket with a hole and
Chasing all the coins
Rolling down the drain
Everything you said was hazy
You called me sad, lost and lazy
Scratched my records and slapped my face
You left no clue
I'm blue
(I'm blue)
Why have I always been a failure?
Why have I always been a failure?
Why have I always been a failure?
What can the reason be?

The question is, was this a public event?
If so there is a way to have the color guard show up.

Has there been any confirmation that they people in uniform in that picture are or are not Marines?

No confirmation, but there should be some record of the request.
This isn't some random group, but a color guard ergo if real they had to request it.
In a statement provided to Newsweek by the Marine Corps on Saturday evening, a spokesperson clarified that the photos had been taken at a non-political event at Mar-a-Lago on Thursday, with the Marines' appearance approved ahead of time

You two are idiots.

I can see the rank on 3 of them. Looks like 2 sergeants and a lance corporal. But definitely no medals etc. Not even their shooter badges or good conduct medals. Which all sergeants definitely should have. The others should have had on their shooting badges at a minimum. All Marines are required to qualify on the shooting range.
Marine uniforms with insignia can be purchased on eBay.
Definitely suspicious.

I am going to go with this perspective.
"and thus are illicitly showing favor towards one candidate over the other"
Republicans are pro Veteran suicide.
This event was meant to paper over that fact by "raising awareness."
A Marine Corps color guard that was recently photographed at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida was attending a non-political event that was meant to raise awareness about veterans suicides, a lead spokesman for the Marine Corps said in a statement.
