Female Sailor sits for National Anthem; gets INSTANT justice

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.”

The stanza tha Shaun King quoted is a canard. It is never sung.

It should be. Americans should know all four verses.

I can’t find where Michael Cantrell is British. But the UK collective noun is prevalent in Canada, too. I guess you have to be born into it because though I lived for a decent time in Canada, I never incorporated the habit.

I note that in paragraph three, they say “The Navy was none too happy.” Maybe several cooks are making this broth.

The hirelings and slaves are British soldiers. The phrase is a reference to Job 7:2 in the Old Testament.

Thanks for your explanation. Both of my parents were in the military in WWII. It really worries me to think that some like this sailor are “supposedly” defending our country.

She wrote her own charge sheet, she did the prosecuting JAG’s job for him.

It sounds like she wanted some quiet time in the brig.

I wouldn't TRUST her not to sabotage some U.S. military maneuver and help out the enemy, including Muzzlimes. They were the ones who caught and sold the black slaves to other countries, but I'll bet they're her true heroes.

This woman appears to lack a functional brain. She is not a leader, she is a follower, and a rather non-discerning one at that. Not fit for the military and not really fit to benefit from U.S. citizenship.

“Becoming pregnant for a discharge, was too much work?”

Getting kicked out is a resume enhancer for a budding SJW.

Getting pregnant is just...ghetto.

If they know it they should understand it and the context not just blathering the words. The context is everything

I love the inclusion of “hirelings” in her “land of the free, except for ...” comment. So we’re not the land of the free because people voluntarily exchange work for payment? And she believes that slavery still exists in the US? The communism is strong in this one.

Good news, Female Sailor; You have never been a slave, unless you immigrated here from Africa.
Bad news: Your a— does belong to the Navy, which will hopefully have you keelhauled before dishonorable discharge.

A race with IQ ranging from mid 70s to mid 80s mean-wise

What do we expect?

This is precisely how seeing western civilization collapse from within looks

No acceptance of responsibility from the folks who have collapsed

Prodded along by usual elite non pluralists

You’re showing your age with that. Then again, I am too, because you just gave me an earworm!

If you had read this line from the excerpt, you could have saved your post...

“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.

Has she been issued a dishonorable discharge yet?
