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

Posted on 11/01/2013 12:51:21 PM PDT by Nachum

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?

Thanks for the correction.

I guess my question really is, though, is it still the Naval jack or has Obama executively ordered it away or something?

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” Barack Hussein Obama, 7/2/2008

What could possibly go wrong?


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.

I’d like to see what the “brass” would do if every Navy Seal said “FU!”

I was in for 4 years. I wouldn’t serve today. I could not follow orders of political hack/cowards.

Maybe we should dig up Col. Gadsden to teach the son of a Marxist some history.

From the Article:

“When a friend of mine asked his leadership the same question, he was told, “The Jack is too closely associated with radical groups.” We must assume that this thought policeman embedded in the SEAL community is speaking of the Tea Party, whose flag (which also dates from the American Revolution) depicts a snake with the same defiant slogan as The Navy Jack.”

This has to be exposed. I sent it to Drudge.

Better to take it off, and not identify yourself for special treatment when Obama’s Special Order 66 comes.

SeALs are Navy, but the Army was always funny about symbols. The 45th Infantry Division had to change their insignia. In the 1930s it was a yellow swastika on a red background.

Don’t tell me. Let me guess. It offends the military’s Fabulous Fag Brigade.

obama has a real personal hatred for the SEALs. Those he can’t kill, he humiliates and tries to emasculate. I despise him in more ways than you can imagine.
He is poking a stick at a hornet’s nest with malicious glee.

I don’t think that will end well.

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set.

By national security, he obviously meant defense of his regime against opposition that might rebel against it. Is it 1776 yet?

Obama has gotten rid of all the real military leaders and the ones who are left are more to his liking.

He fiddled with NASA.

He compromised the Boy Scouts and now a federal agent is CEO of it.

Every part of America that has always made us stand proud he and his toadies are smashing.

Now the Navy Seals. As if has not done enough damage to them.
