A U.S. Navy sailor is under investigation for refusing to stand during the national anthem.

Intelligence Specialist 2nd Class Janaye Ervin, a reservist stationed at Pearl Harbor, posted on Facebook about why she's following in the footsteps of Colin Kaepernick and others who have demonstrated against police brutality during the anthem.

"I feel like a hypocrite singing about the 'land of the free' when I know that only applies to some Americans," she wrote. "I will gladly stand again, when ALL AMERICANS are afforded the same freedom."

Ervin says she lost her security clearance and was threatened with jail by the Navy in response to her actions.

The Navy is not a welfare program. If she doesn’t believe in her country there is no reason to expect her to serve it loyally. Boot her.

Intelligence operator who lost her security clearance?
I guess she could buff the decks outside restricted areas.
Until she is awarded a Big Chicken Dinner.

She signed up to serve her country.
She signed up to potentially give her life for her country.
But, stand for its national song, “No way, baby.”

You know what? I DON’T thank her for her “service”.

I think she just joined for the bennies.

If she resents the US this much, she should not be in the military, might be causing sabotage.

I don’t know this woman, but it appears the lights are on.

Some people get in with the wrong crowd and the anti-Americanism just clicks with them. I can’t imagine it, but I have been raised to be very respectful of God, Country, Military, and the police.

I don’t believe the government or private businesses have it in for Blacks. I think the worst enemy Blacks face is the feral among their own numbers.

Sadly, I think this woman should be discharged.

Wrong thing to do..., loyalty to nation is a prerequisite in times of terrorism and treason.

Did she forget this?

"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962)."
