About

#KushnerAtWar is a hashtag referring to a series of photographs of White House Senior Adviser and President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner visiting Iraq. The pictures depicting Kushner in a suit and bulletproof vest are generally accompanied by jokes about Kushner's wealth in juxtaposition to war.

Origin

On April 2nd, 2017, Jared Kushner landed in Iraq[1] to meet with military officials regarding their fight against ISIS. Two days later, while visiting Qayyarh West Airfield in Iraq, Kushner was photographed wearing sunglasses and a bulletproof vest while wearing a blazer, button-up shirt, and khakis. Many online found the dichotomy between Kushner's physical appearance and his surroundings a reflection of his inexperience regarding military situations, despite being an adviser on such matters.

On April 6th, a backlash regarding Kushner's attire in the photographs started on Twitter. Users online found Kushner's dress inappropriate.[2]

Spot the main character of this anime.

For real though, it reminds me of the old adage about not making it obvious who the officers are when you're in an area that might come under fire.
