The Navy SEALs will suspend their support of the National Navy SEAL Museum after videos showing dogs attacking a man wearing a Colin Kaepernick jersey during a demonstration last year went viral last weekend, according to the Associated Press.

The National Navy SEAL Museum, located near Fort Pierce, Florida, is a nonprofit organization not overseen by the military.

“Each and every one of us serves to protect our fellow Americans — ALL Americans. Even the perception that our commitment to serving the men and women of this nation is applied unevenly is destructive,” Rear Admiral Collin Green, who heads the Naval Special Warfare Command, wrote in an email to his forces on Monday, according to the Associated Press.

“We will revisit our relationship with the Museum when I am convinced that they have made the necessary changes to ensure this type of behavior does not happen again.”

I never thought I would see the day when I felt shame for so many branches of the service. The Museum has always supported the SEALs. It was an outside group that did this not the Museum itself. An strong statement of disapproval by the Museum. should be enough.

Obama flag rank officer:

[Green will step down from his current post in September 2020, a year early. Some believe this is due to his interactions with President Trump over the decision by the president to reinstate the rank of SEAL Eddie Gallagher.[4]

Green was born and raised in Bowie, Maryland, one of nine children. His father, Leo E. Green, is a former Maryland state senator and mayor of Bowie. He is married and has four children.[5]]

[Leo E. Green (born March 27, 1932) is an American politician in the state of Maryland. He served in the Maryland State Senate from 1983 to 2007 as a Democrat.[1]]

The Left has been infecting family, faith, education, sports, and the military for decades. No surprise about the PC a-holes in the military. Hell, look at the opinionated generals.

There is something rotten in Denmark. What saddens me is how long it took for some to catch a whiff of the stench.

A Vick jersey would have been better.

The museum has to get it together if they want to call themselves the “National Navy SEAL Museum”. I’m no fan of Adm Green after his persecution of Chief Gallagher and insubordination toward POTUS, but this message was needed. His statement “We will revisit our relationship with the Museum when I am convinced that they have made the necessary changes to ensure this type of behavior does not happen again” is a pretty clear signal that this is short term, especially considering he is retiring in September.

If Fort Pierce isn’t up to the challenge, I have no doubt that San Diego would love to host the museum on Coronado.

But I’m sure that it would be fine if the model was wearing a Trump 2020 T-shirt.

Nah, that would have only been more appropriate if you had a bunch of dogs sitting around taking bets while two humans savagely fought each other to the death.

The dogs should be wearing Michael Vick jerseys.

Navy SEALs need to stay out of the news. They are loosing their luster. They seem to be becoming a branch of the DNC/BLM crowd.
