Navy SEALs ordered to remove ‘don’t tread on me’ Navy Jack from uniforms

Navy SEALs ordered to remove ‘don’t tread on me’ Navy Jack from uniforms 10:44 AM 11/01/2013 Carl Higbie Author, 'Battle on the Home Front'

The Navy Jack is the ‘don’t tread on me’ flag, one that has earned a revered place in America’s naval history and a beloved place in sailor’s hearts, through its use for over two centuries. This symbol of America’s naval ferocity has spanned our country’s entire existence, flying from the masts of the Continental Navy during the war of independence, to today’s War on Terror. In fact, an amendment to the Navy code called SECNAV Instruction 10520.6 clearly states that as of 31 May 2002 all ships are to fly the flag throughout the duration of the War on Terror.

So why would ranking SEAL commanders ban the historical symbol? Is the proverbial top bass banning the flag? Is President Obama?

Clearly the administration and sycophant “top brass” officers have degraded America’s military prestige; from hand-tying rules of engagement, to uniform regulations that make our military allegedly more compatible with foreign forces, to the banning of an awe-inspiring flag that traces its roots to the first U.S. Navy. We have a civilian-led military, but why should our ranking commanders be complicit in the administration’s war on it? Why don’t they stand up to Obama and his leftist cronies?

If you like your Navy Jack, you will be able to keep your Navy Jack. Period.

If you like your Old Glory, you will be able to keep your Old Glory. Period.

No one will take them away. No matter what.

One of the more conservative talk shows called this more “wussifcation” of America.

I tried this number and it’s not good enough. You just get an operator who wants to know who to connect you with. The Navy Liason office, which SHE chose, wasn’t answering.

Will he be replacing them with rainbow flags? Or will he now order our troops to salute towards Mecca?

I am going to buy the T shirt with “DONT TREAD ON ME” and wear it everywhere I go. I am also going to buy one for everyone I know for Christmas! I will display the flag as well!

Every patriot should wear one in public. I no longer care about stares or comments or any other consequece- that went by the wayside years ago!

Purging the officer "corpse". ("Corpse", of course. in deference to the author of the purge, Odumbo.)
Limiting military personnel from access to conservative news sources.
Omitting reference to God from the Air Force honor code.
And now this.

The liberals are emasculating the military and forming it in their own vile image.

Putin must be laughing hysterically at what Obama is doing to the U.S. It probably crosses his mind how much effort they took training spies, developing spy networks and building up their military to try and overtake the U.S. for decades without success and now how one black Muslim psychopath wrecking ball is tearing our nation to pieces. It’s probably better than sex or the thrill of stealing Super Bowl rings could ever be.

Well, it appears that this outfitter will have to discontinue making these patches. But maybe they can start producing this new Boy Scout patch for military use:

"More color variations of the Don't Tread on Me First Navy Jack Flag Patch for Marine Detachments and more. We are honored that our subdued patches are authorized by US Navy Forces Central Command (COMUSNAVCENT) for ACU/FRACU dress in ALL command areas and now for Type II Desert Digital. Everyday we get orders from our brave servicemen and women, and they thank us for being there for them. Well, we think the opposite, THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE FOR US!"

COLOR SCHEME CHOICES:

TYPE III UNIFORM - OLIVE DRAB - OR MULTITAN

TYPE II UNIFORM - DESERT - OR COYOTE - OR MULTITAN ARMY ACU UNIFORM - ACU/FOLIAGE

MULTICAM UNIFORM - COYOTE - OR MULTITAN
