The Navy Jack is the flag flown by United States Naval Vessels. It's motto of "Don't Tread on Me" is emblazoned on a Red and White Striped background with a rattlesnake stretched across it. The flag has a long and revered history in America's Navy spanning back to the time of our country's fight for Independence. However, Navy SEAL commanders are now banning the historical symbol. The question is, who is behind the ban?

Seems to me , whoever ordered the ban doesn’t know how to read....or comprehend traditions, Leo.

He is taunting the SEALs now the way clinton taunted Vietnam Veterans back when he was burning children alive and shooting women and children. He didn’t get them to take the bait then. But this assault on the SEALs has been long and sustained. He is setting them up for something.

He’s not in charge. He’s a puppet.

Yep - why do you think he wouldn’t give-up his BlackBerry?

Needs it to get instructions from his masters.

He’s a marionette.

He’s not nearly as smart as ANYONE thinks he is. He’s not even smart enough to be stupid.

Not entirely true.
He's in charge as POTUS.
Even his “puppet masters” can't entirely control him anymore.Nor can they shield him.

I grant you this administration is a large group effort, but I very much doubt “we”, as in we USA citizens, will ever be able to catch them all...
But we CAN catch most of them.

How is the question.
I know my opinion on what will ultimately be required.
I know I am not wrong, but I can still pray something happens to change the method.

Dear, God. I never thought of that. The man (and I use that term lightly) has no soul.

He absolutely hates and FEARS these guys, azi. They were not sufficiently enamored of his glorious self and spit in his eye in Somalia after he told them not to fire on the pirates holding a ship captain on a dinghy right in their faces. They did not sufficiently fear his wrath when they spotted the little buzzard turning a weapon on the ship captain and took the shot that freed the captain. Their orders were not to fire UNLESS there was sufficient reason to believe the ship captain’s life was in imminent danger.
Can you imagine the outrage these guys felt? There they were watching these punk somali bastards holding an American hostage just sitting there in the water waiting for blood money to free or kill him and the SEALs were ordered to stand down.
I don’t know if the little punk intended to harm the captain or not, but he gave the SEALs enough rope to hang him and they did.
oscama’s press made a big deal that the punk was just a poor teenager.
oscama was livid, but technically they obeyed their orders to the letter. He couldn’t punish them outright. No courts martial. No discharges, demotions, or censures. They had done their jobs with the utmost perfection. And they have been paying for it ever since.
And now he taunts them and tells them they can’t put the Navy Jack patches on their uniforms anymore or fly it from their vessels. Poking, poking, poking at them maliciously. How many have died because of him? I mean SEALs specifically. This is a set up and there is no doubt in my mind. He wants a response so he can retaliate. How remains to be seen. He could dissolve and disband the SEALs if he wanted to. He is the cic. Just give him an excuse the American people MIGHT accept.
Just some food for thought.

If a bunch of idiots are elected in 2014 - then the US ceased to exist on JAN 20, 2009!

If - in some miracle - a bunch of Tea Party representatives are elected - and the IMMEDIATELY repeal the ACA and then move to impeach Obama - and then charge his other members who knowingly and willfully committed treason on the US public through the multiple acts we all know occurred - then I will believe that the US can come back to its traditional founding fathers...if those FOUR things do not happen - then it’s over!

I did. And have over many years. were some whacko’s? Yup. Other’s were the fed up type and many on this site got more concerned over politics and perception.
