Navy SEALs ordered to remove 'don’t tread on me' Navy Jack from uniforms
Daily Caller ^ | 11/1/13 | Carl Higbie

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?

Does it still fly from the fantail of USN ships while they are at sea?

Yeah, the only attitude they’re prepared to accept these days is “PLEASE tread on me!”

As the current Naval Jack it’s flow from the bow of USN ships while they are in commission but not underway.

Obama is a queer is a given.

Removing don’t tread on me is to keep the patriots DOWN. he is succeeding in emasculating all things AMERICAN. and that is part of the Marxist plan set down by Saul Alinsky, Marx and Lenin.

To be replaced by the new motto: “Beat me but don’t leave me”?

Most likely because of Obama’s hatred for the tea party movement.

The “don’t tread on me” flag is a symbol used by the tea party movement. I will bet you dollars to donuts that is the reason for banning it. Has the LGBT rainbow flag been banned too?

Yes, “don’t tread on me” and the Tea Party represent resistance to tyranny... HIS tyranny.

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.


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

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

No one will take them away. No matter what.
