Sailor Faces Discipline After Viral Flag Protest

"While the anthem is played, the sailor sits on a picnic bench with a raised fist, a symbol of solidarity in the Black Power movement."

She's a racist bitch and should face the full wrath of UCMJ.

There seems to be no level of stupidity that modern Americans are unable to reach. She is another example of the marginally educated, full opinionate and desperately ignorant that roam among us. A product of public schools, social media, television and video games no doubt.

There is nothing wrong with protesting as a private citizen. However, when one serves in the military they agree to adhere to its regulations; that the smallest of the sacrifices that oath we took requires. If she can' t make even that sacrifice, then perhaps the military isn't for her and she can protest all she wants ... as a civilian.

I make no commentary on the righteousness of her cause, only in the appropriateness of pursuing it as a member of a voluntary military force.
