Navy Sailor Refuses to Stand During National Anthem
Fox News ^ | September 26, 2016

Posted on 09/26/2016 10:00:17 AM PDT by detective

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.

Of course none of them protest the Democrap engineered socialist holocaust that has destroyed more black lives than cops, racism or slavery ever did. No, matter of fact they support these very same Democraps responsible for it

“Why is this matter even being discussed?
In the real world, this would be an automatic Court Martial.”

Not anymore it seems.

She will likely be betrayed as a great hero and patriot and invited to the White House where Obama and other politicians will praise her and bestow honors on her.

So far both “kneelers” have been women. What does that say?

Some parts of the Military are not far removed from welfare.

As an Intelligence Specialist, she has access to secrets.

I see a lot of people wanting severe punishment for this sailor.

Just offer her an "other than honorable" discharge, and get rid of her. She's no longer fit to wear the uniform, and she certainly can't be trusted in an intelligence unit.

She's not worth the effort to waste time on a bad-conduct or dishonorable discharge.

Court-martialing this twit would be a waste of time and money. Adsep her with an OTH (Other than Honorable) discharge and be done with it.

“I am guessing keelhauling is no longer in vogue?”

Probably not, the sailor being hauled might collide with a dolphin or other protected marine mammal!/s;) I would prefer tying to the mast followed by a flogging, except modern ships don’t have masts!;)

“Ervin says she lost her security clearance...”

I believe this is the first I’ve heard of this.

Outstanding.

(Although, if she’d set up an unclassified server in the head, received top secret emails, and then lied about it after she deleted said emails...she’d be just fine.)

Why did these people join the service if they feel that way?

It was not yet fashionable to denounce your country while in uniform, that's why.

“She's not worth the effort to waste time on a bad-conduct or dishonorable discharge.”

I disagree. She needs to be exposed as part of the hate America poison that is currently being promoted by Obama, the media and others. There needs to be consequences for her actions.

If there’s one place where loyalty is not optional, it’s the military.

But in the upper officer corps, loyalty to the Constitution has been replaced by loyalty to Obama.
