U.S. Navy sailor is under investigation for refusing to stand during the national anthem.
Intelligence Specialist 2nd Class Janaye Ervin, a reservist stationed at Pearl Harbor, posted on Facebook about why she's following in the footsteps of Colin Kaepernick and others who have demonstrated against police brutality during the anthem.
"I feel like a hypocrite singing about the 'land of the free' when I know that only applies to some Americans," she wrote. "I will gladly stand again, when ALL AMERICANS are afforded the same freedom."
Ervin says she lost her security clearance and was threatened with jail by the Navy in response to her actions.

Throw her in the brig... no discharge, just brig time.
Dishonorable discharge...ASAP.
NOPE!
Trump insist on National Anthem being played when told it’s to late.

Troops who don’t stand for the national anthem could face prosecution under the Uniform Code of Military Justice for violating Article 92, which states that troops can be punished for failing to obey a lawful general order.
Ret. SCPO’s wife court marshal and dishonorable discharge this idiot, set an example.
Jail time!
“Why did these people join the service if they feel that way?”
They can’t find anywhere else to hire them.
Walking the plank may be in order.
>disciplinary barracks ... Edmonton
oxymoron.
General discharge, let her explain for the rest of her life, “I was serving my country but my conscience wouldn’t allow me to stand for our national anthem.
Fuggedaboutit. The WH has already put in a good word for her, like the West Point cadets.
Bill is on his way ?
Is it possible she is seeking a way out of service?
The fruit of liberal (new meaning) education, and the murder of meaningful history and science. The communist virus....formerly only taxing our vigor...is metastasizing in our tissues. The ‘200-year’ window closes on yet another free republic.
Muster her right to the brig!
Looks like the Navy PAX should be retrained in weather and sent to Shemya Island, Thule, Wake, or Midway Atoll. Let her finish out her active and IRR time in those places ;)
African scum have no business in the US Navy. Let this Hotentot swab the decks and give her a dishonorable discharge.
If so, she will get her wish.
An intelligence specialist position is hard -- mental, not physical. I know someone that started there, but couldn't sustain it and was reassigned.
If that's what she wanted, she should have asked for it. At this point, she's unlikely to get an honorable discharge and it will dog her for the rest of her life.
You First Amendment rights pretty much end the second you take the oath. Until you are discharged it doesn’t matter what you think about the flag or the pledge. You’ll do it or suffer the consequences. At least that’s how it used to be about 8 years ago.
yep, DD her a$$ out the door. Do your social justice crap on your own time and out of uniform. If the navy lets this go it will only get worse.
A double protected class person believes she isnt free like white folks.
Sick. Libs are very sick and warped people.
Maybe she wants affirmative action and title 9 to end.
Oh yeah, /s
Only threatened with jail.
The military has become so very weak.
