A 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.

Do you mean “Keel Haul”? It was an old style of punishment for Sailors at sea, and it was not fun at all. My Chief Petty Officer used to threaten the Seamen with it when they acted up or slept through night shifts.

Other than honorable discharge pronto!
The military has been here before and they are very high risk for security leaks if not down right sabotage.

I’m getting sick and tired of hearing the protected class complain that they aren’t getting enough special treatment.

Keep Haul! Hilarious. Do you do it with a mop?
To: Red in Blue PA
Well, that’s one way to get out of the navy. She should get a dishonorable discharge, but they won’t.

I say keep her in the Navy. Aren’t there buoys around the Aleutian Islands that need checking this winter. Give her a rowboat, provisions and a map.

Bitch, when you raised your right hand, you swore to defend and uphold the Constitution of The United States of America, the same as millions of us did, without reservation or expectation. If you think you're going to mock that oath with some culturally trendy, social justice/snowflake/snivel rights temper tantrum, then you can sit your greasy ass in a jail cell until you are tried, convicted, and sentenced for failure to follow orders under the UCMJ, then dishonorably discharged from the same military branch whom much better human beings than you lost their lives serving in. You are a fecking PIG. I'm by-and-large a gentleman, but I'd like to punch you right in the mouth.
