every time they salute each other
That's how you know for sure it's fake. Soldiers in training don't salute each other. They only salute officers.

God damnit, I wanted this to be true so badly.
If it makes you feel better, it is 100% something marines would do (not the saluting). At least until higher ups started threatening
You can also tell it's fake because of common sense. But that's a rare trait these days.
You can be training for an invasion without being in basic training, or are we to assume there are no continuous improvement efforts in the military?
Who said anything about basic training?
Soldiers don't go around saluting each other, no matter what stage of training they're in.

Satire account 😔
What gave it away?
Most of the armed forces are MAGA, trust me
Maybe. Many are just dumb 20+ yos who didn't have opportunities.
My cousin was unemployed for three years after HS and wracking up college debt. He's now in the military and knowing him, he probably is sarcastically saying "For Epstein".
I have trouble believing that the military can’t control recruits in training.
Oh yeah, 6 and 7. Classic generation alphas. I liked generation alphas 4 and 5, personally.
Please don’t spread misinformation without clearly marking the joke.
You take every tweet at face value? Please don't :(
