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?
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.
