A new U.S. Navy directive mandates that SEALs replace the traditional “Don’t Tread On Me” Navy Jack on the sleeves of their uniforms with the American flag.
The original Navy Jack was made up of 13 horizontal stripes — seven red and six white. A rattlesnake was later added diagonally across the flag, along with the words, “Don’t Tread On Me,” on the lowest white stripe.
More recently, the jack was replaced with white stars on a field of blue, with the number of stars representing states in the union, like the American flag.
After the 9/11 attacks, all U.S. Navy ships of war were ordered to return to the traditional “Don’t Tread On Me” rattlesnake design for the duration of the “war on terror.”
The jack, flown on the bow of the ship, is the first identifying insignia seen by an approaching ship. The message is loud and clear: I’m an American warship — don’t tread on me.
Navy SEALs follow the same directive — until now......

I can only pray that those who retire from these elite military groups are willing to fight against the country that’s fallen so far from its founding.
Castrate the military and arm up the cops. Does anybody see the end game here?
Where can I get a Trident and don’t tread on me?
Because this jack is used at T party rallies and we can’t be offending Obama liberals.
It’s compromised, highly-infiltrated and well-underway. In 3 more years of 0bamaScum&Co, we’ll be a turd-world country.
how many generals and admirals were removed from duty in the past month.
the queer boy king from Kenya strikes again!
I wonder when all of the elite units are going to be composed of a majority of whiny homos or women.
Ummm. I saw this the other day and tried twice to post it but for some reason (no note from the moderator) it kept disappearing. Finally someone got it posted. I was trying to post from CNSNews. Is there a NO-GO for CNSNews? Odd. In any case, as a lot of you remember, the military ain’t a “democracy” or a representative republic either. Dictatorship and ya sometimes gotta follow the orders you don’t care for. Since we’re talking about the Navy Jack here and not a Gadsden Flag, not sure if the brass has a clue what they’re talking about. Probably the “Don’t Tread On Me” wording on both flags. Wouldn’t want to be associated with those evil Tea Party types.
To be replaced with “Take me. I’m yours”?
Good. When the Navy is reformed back, it can be brought back, unsullied.
We ever regain power I hope president Cruz has the will to purge the military brass with Jacobin zeal
It will take that.

“we bend over for you”
The Serpent will not be mocked.
Just covering their bets in case the "Darlington" scenario multiplies fifty or a hundred times.
And Cruella DeVille has prediagnosed all veterans as having mental disorders that preclude them from owning guns when they leave the service.
This is in line with declaring the Tea Party a terrorist organization.
The Tea Party is associated with the Gadsden flag/motto. The can’t have Gadsden also associated with the military.
