The Tampa, Florida-based SOCOM launched an investigation into the officer's posts when they became public.The command did not specify where the executive had been reassigned, nor what his duties now entail.Torres-Estrada had shared a number of political posts that some considered to be improper, coming from a government official.One meme on a Facebook page that appears to belong to Torres-Estrada features a photograph of a saluting Hitler juxtaposed with a photo of Trump holding up a Bible in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church. Another meme is a photo of Trump surrounded by quotes attributed to former advisers calling Trump "an idiot," "a dope," and "a moron."&nbsp;&nbsp;Another meme purports to be a "missing" poster for Sen. Ted Cruz, describing him as having "weird" facial hair and as having left his state "in the middle of a natural disaster."
