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.”
sailor - wrong and needs punishment
nfl player - wrong only
The stanza tha Shaun King quoted is a canard. It is never sung. Moreover the poem was mentioning those who were fighting with the British against there own government. They were treasonous The distorted history these people throw around makes me sick
Dishonorably discharge this witch
She easily could get a dead beat to marry her in order to get military dependent benefits. It happens a lot. They get married for the money.
The Obama effect.
She can read, but her comprehension is lacking. Hirelings and slaves are referred to in the third stanza of the Star Spangled Banner.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country, should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
However, in the case of the Star Spangled Banner, the phrase refers to the British use of mercenaries and British practice of forcing captured American sailors to fight against the United States during the War of 1812, and not, as this dipwad, who should be drummed out of the service, thinks.
I’m betting she’s BLACK!!!

That’s exactly what the article states.

“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.
You could be on to something...
Dishonorable discharge. The result is that her resume will most likely not include the US Navy.
....and give her the Big Chicken Dinner!
What is the “instant justice” she got?
Watermelon for dessert for this Snowflake! ...
This is not the US Navy that sent little Tin Cans against the IJN’s giant Yamato and her supporting cruisers at The Battle Off Samar in 1944. I don’t know whose Navy this is but I suspect it belongs to a nation that has lost its rudder so to speak.
No man should be sent into harm’s way with this sorry excuse of a shipmate. Discharge this “sailor” immediately.
Throw her in the brig! (and dock her pay)
The slaves that Key refers to are the slaves that switched over and fought for the British. They were fighting for their freedom, and I can’t blame them for that but that freedom was contingent on America’s defeat. That would have been bad news for blacks and every other race in America and the world itself as America has made a big difference for freedom and individual rights around the globe.
Their problem is that they’re assh0les and traitors to the nation that gave them birth.
This sh*t bag shouldn’t be in the navy, she should be in jail.
The British at the time may have freed those slaves that fought for them or maybe not. I do think give Britains penchant for colonialism, that they would have taken up the whip themselves in regards to the rest of the slaves.
Captains Mast to the Plank. This is the person that is going to protect and defend me or selected people from all invaders foreign and domestic?
Rush has correctly pointed out people like this have been brainwashed to hate this country by people like Obama and Hillary.
I remember it well. Back when M TV was good.
