More and more people are jumping on the sit-for-the-National-Anthem bandwagon,believing their disrespectful actions are somehow validated if they are doing it for “equality.”
The latest such example is a female sailor — as in member of the U.S. Navy — who decided to post a video of her “protest” on Facebook
The Navy was none too happy with the sailor’s actions and are taking disciplinary action.
According to the Daily Caller, Disciplinary actions toward the female sailor are ongoing, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Navy told Military Times. “We are always doing training to make sure that sailors know the pros and cons of using social media, and they must always observe appropriate conduct, and they’re always subject to the UCMJ at all times,” she added.
The national anthem “basically says land of the free, home of the brave, except for hirelings and slaves and I just can’t support anything like that,” the female sailor said in the video she posted on Facebook. She continues “I think Colin had a really good point when he said we had bodies in the streets.”
During the ceremony the sailor sat on a bench and raised her fist in a symbol of black power. “Until this country shows they’ve got my back as a black woman … I can’t, and I won’t and I won’t be forced to [stand],” she continues.
The military requires all U.S. service-members to stop where they are, stand at attention, and salute the flag during the morning ceremony. Disciplinary action for failure to comply with these regulations is not unprecedented. A female soldier posted a photo of herself hiding in her to car to avoid saluting during colors in 2014. The female soldier was made to issue a public apology to the U.S. Army.
As a military member, this woman has a duty to represent the country she’s sworn to protect and defend, the very same nation that affords her the opportunity to be free and do what she wants with her life.
Since it’s part of protocol to stand at attention during the National Anthem, this sailor absolutely deserves to be disciplined for her egregious act, and in all honesty, if she doesn’t believe in the country she took an oath to defend, perhaps she should be dishonorably discharged?
What’s truly ironic about these “protesters” is that they’re hating on a country where they have liberty to choose what they do with their lives, who they date or marry, and so on and so on.
But you know how it goes with liberals: “Don’t bother me with the truth. My mind’s made up.”
I honestly do not know what these peoples problems are. But being a white male I'm told I would not understand.
I’m betting she’s BLACK!!!
Kick her butt out.
This has nothing to do with “the pros and cons of using social media” and everything to do with being an idiot.
Discharge the idiot.
Off to Liberia with her Black ass.
The problem with today’s military is that they are no longer able to vet their potential candidates as hard as they did in the past. Another AA acceptance.
Throw her out with a GD. There’s no reason to have idiots like this in the military.
I actually support this womans right to protest.
I also support the Navy for busting her ass for breaking the rules.
Don’t like the Navy honey? Get out.
Becoming pregnant for a discharge, was too much work?
“During the ceremony the sailor sat on a bench and raised her fist in a symbol of black power.”
You win.
And it us your fault.
She be forgotten she aint no longer be in the hood.
Kick her ass out of the NAV
The Navy ... are taking disciplinary action.
I bet that you are right. I also bet that she gets paid extra because she has a dead beat spouse and dependent children. She probably looks at the military as a just another social welfare gubmint agency. The last part is not entirely her fault. 0bama has changed the military into another social welfare gubmint agency
The national anthem “basically says land of the free, home of the brave, except for hirelings and slaves...
I guess she can’t read either.
Maybe it was in Cursive?
Um, idiot, instead of raising your cute little defiant fist - why don’t you use your brain God gave you and stop and take the few minutes it takes to listen to the National Anthem and THINK of WHY there are ‘bodies in the streets’? WHY you blindly listen to the corrupt Democrat lies that keep you down or WHY you choose to follow a hip-hop culture that glorifies murdering your fellow race and hating on people of different color who’ve personally done you no harm, nor intend to.
Word up!
Makes you wonder how they may behave on the battlefield. Will they sit on their rears and shake their fists while their fellow soldiers are dying in front of them. Clearly they are angry with the United States.
I’m guessing she joined the Navy for the free education and job training, but paid no attention to the oath she took?
Ungrateful, ignorant, self-centered, dare I say, DEPLORABLE?
