Active Duty ping.

Same subject.

How sad! Has she no idea what the American Flag stands for, or what has brought her to the point where she can say she is a member of the U.S. Army?

During my time on active duty, it was my Honor to stand the Chief of the Day watch at NNMC Bethesda - even though I was only an HM/2. I felt privileged to raise and lower the Colors on that watch. There is a little history here - my dad, an MSC officer in the Navy stood the OOD Watch at that command a few years before me. Had we served contemporaneously, he would have been standing to my left as the presiding Officer as I raised or lowered the Colors.

We both saw many a sunrise and sunset standing before that Flagpole.

Sorry - eyes getting all blurry now - he would be 87 years old today. God, how I miss him!

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Since the Army is being forced by Obama and Hagel to terminate tens of thousands of soldiers, may I suggest here is first one to be forced out.

The dumb troop has turned what was probably company level correction into judicial punishment through her own sheer stupidity.

Love the airline pilot story - that’s a keeper

I looked at her Instagram page. Almost all posts are black racism at its best. “F**k America”, “F*** this nation” etc, and some black militant liberation stuff. One picture shows a white person hanging from a tree, with a profanity laced commentary about slavery. There are also several pictures of the American flag burning.

If this is not a spoof account, then this person has some serious issues.

"KEEP ALL YOUR 'THATS SO DISRESPECTFUL/HOWRUDE/ETC.' COMMENTS TO YOURSELF cuz, right now, IDGAFFFF," she added, under her handle sheffeynation.

If you don't give a FFFF - whatever the hhh that is - then why did you voluntarily join the army you POS? If you want to brag about your complete lack of respect for the service and its traditions, then take off the uniform and go do something else.
