The Navy Jack is the dont tread on me flag, one that has earned a revered place in Americas naval history and a beloved place in sailors hearts, through its use for over two centuries. This symbol of Americas naval ferocity has spanned our countrys entire existence, flying from the masts of the Continental Navy during the war of independence, to todays War on Terror. In fact, an amendment to the Navy code called SECNAV Instruction 10520.6 clearly states that as of 31 May 2002 all ships are to fly the flag throughout the duration of the War on Terror.
So why would ranking SEAL commanders ban the historical symbol? Is the proverbial top bass banning the flag? Is President Obama?
Clearly the administration and sycophant top brass officers have degraded Americas military prestige; from hand-tying rules of engagement, to uniform regulations that make our military allegedly more compatible with foreign forces, to the banning of an awe-inspiring flag that traces its roots to the first U.S. Navy. We have a civilian-led military, but why should our ranking commanders be complicit in the administrations war on it? Why dont they stand up to Obama and his leftist cronies?

File this under Obama is a queer.
Does it still fly from the fantail of USN ships while they are at sea?
Yeah, the only attitude they’re prepared to accept these days is “PLEASE tread on me!”
Combat jack!
As the current Naval Jack it’s flow from the bow of USN ships while they are in commission but not underway.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Obama is a queer is a given.
Removing don’t tread on me is to keep the patriots DOWN. he is succeeding in emasculating all things AMERICAN. and that is part of the Marxist plan set down by Saul Alinsky, Marx and Lenin.
That folder is full
You can keep the ‘don’t tread on me’ Navy Jack! Period!
To be replaced by the new motto: “Beat me but don’t leave me”?
..and replaced by ‘...diversity matters...’ shirts
Most likely because of Obama’s hatred for the tea party movement.
Obama IS a Jackoff!
Hey, soon to be a longer list of command (Naval) officers on the dung heap!
The “don’t tread on me” flag is a symbol used by the tea party movement. I will bet you dollars to donuts that is the reason for banning it. Has the LGBT rainbow flag been banned too?
Yes, “don’t tread on me” and the Tea Party represent resistance to tyranny... HIS tyranny.
