The Navy Jack is the dont tread on me flag, one that has earned a revered place in Americas naval history and a beloved place in sailors hearts, through its use for over two centuries. This symbol of Americas naval ferocity has spanned our countrys entire existence, flying from the masts of the Continental Navy during the war of independence, to todays 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?
This is the first time I have seen the post and I am on FR everyday.
Holy crap, I never expected to get so many replies on a throwaway response about a duplicate thread.
I could post the cure for cancer and nobody would respond, but the first time I make a one sentence comment about seeing the same damn thread for the 5th time in a week, and I get more responses than I ever have before.
Sheesh, this site has really gone downhill since 1998. Misspelled words everywhere, duplicate posts all the time, constant barrage of dumb vanity posts, and this site is still begging for money just to keep the lights on. No wonder the conservative movement is hanging on by its fingernails if this is the way we operate.
