"This is me laying back in my car hiding so I don't have to salute the 1700 flag," she captioned the picture.

"KEEP ALL YOUR 'THATS SO DISRESPECTFUL/HOWRUDE/ETC.' COMMENTS TO YOURSELF cuz, right now, IDGAFFFF," she added, under her handle sheffeynation.

LOL I was trying to figure that one out too!

This is why I didn’t have a knee-jerk reaction to reducing the size of the military. We have too many people in the service who have no business being there. They’re there for all the wrong reasons and don’t contribute a whit to national defense.

Well, Pfc. Sheffey, it’s your turn to clear out the minefield. Here’s your pointy stick; now hop to it!

[trisham]

They should boot her out.

[henkster]

What makes you think this regime would part ways with such a valuable soldier as Pfc. Sheffey? Seems to me she is exactly what they want.

I think most of those names are picked by their mother drawing six Scrabble tiles and given an “a” for the last letter a girl baby.

Sadly, I’m not so sure... With the radical, Marxist, anti-American, anti-military regime we have in power right now, this chick is just as likely to receive a medal for her disdainful lack of patriotism.

Tariqka ?

Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)

One of holde’s “My people” and he will ride to her rescue because it must be a racist act that she got in trouble.

comment from the article:

"In Swahili, Tariqka means grab scrabble pieces and put 'em together to name your child"

Dang, that had me laughing hard!
More seriously, that's the direction O wants, it's what we now have.

When I was in the Navy lots of people would run into a building when taps was played so they wouldn’t have to stand at attention and salute. >> ************************************************************ Seriously?!

When I was in the Army, it was roughly the same way. They wouldn't run away, but guys would time their exits and entrances past the flag to avoid Retreat( which is what this girl is talking about - every day at 1700 hours). It wasn't out of disrespect, it was just that, once the music starts, you have to stand there at attention for a few minutes until the flag is fully folded, and this is right at the time you're off duty, possibly headign to chow. Guys just didn't want to be stuck that extra few minutes. You still salute the flag though, when you walk by, regardless.

What makes you think this anti-American, anti-military, Marxist regime would be interested in weeding out the bad apples in our armed forces?

[driftdiver]

Same as when I was in the air force, officers and enlisted. They didn’t brag about it though.

[IYAS9YAS]

One of Obama’s own. But that is what we have degenerated into as a Nation. Not surprising at all.

You wouldn't believe the scurrying around to get indoors I used to see on both Army and Air Force installations when I was in 20+ years ago. Nothing is new in this, except the selfie/posting on-line part.

Are you on Drugs ?

She’ll be a Company Commander in two weeks. If Odumbo had another daughter.

[jazusamo]

Hopefully not, but with todays push for everyones rights it’s not assured.

She doesn’t belong in with that attitude but short of booting her she should be a Pvt. on permanent KP.

[Slings and Arrows]

Maybe Thule could use some E-1 snow-shovellers.
