    ^^^^
    she's not in the NFL, this isn't the Mexico City Olympics, or the 70's.
    She's gonna' be holding her breath, rather sitting on her ass in the brigade, until kingdom come, in this case.

    wtf- does no Recruiter test for literacy before they let new enlistee's pass, or do recruits simply not read the fine print, eg you are the Federal Government's servant employee by choice.

    what blows my mind is how many of these types of idiots have to flaunt their selfies, on top of breaking a law...!
    Selfie's, Twitter,... either unharnessed; un-checked >>-chaos...
    dishonorable discharge if she's lucky, yet undeserving should be any soldier/turncoat on a team they signed up for....

    the only way these asshats know how to unite is to destroy, divide, and cause havoc in lieu of negotiate with peaceful respectful diplomacy, (especially when they're in no position to ask for concessions, let alone demand them)... not in their vocabulary or brain, a mental genetic trait??? ::: "Error 404 - page not found"

    https://www.loc.gov/rr/frd/Military_Law/pdf/08-2001.pdf

    Note: page '12' shown in the bottom left page of the 2nd attachment/file, will be page 16 as shown in top bar of .pdf file.

    Reference note #148, (attachment 2) on pg 16 of .pdf, utilizing "zoom" (speaking for myself). Reference previous pages utilizing note 148. It's worth reading the entire Article - "The Flag, the First Amendment, and the Military."

    I know this is an Army Publication, yet it serves the purpose.

    ^^^I hope she's dishonorably discharged...I'm so sick of the race card defense being played so much and I'm so sick of the "I'm black, therefore I'm persecuted" crap.

    Without going south with the vocabulary the Civil Rights Acts did not pertain to the military. The Armed Services can reject any candidate for any reason period. Once you raise your right hand and take that oath it becomes the law of your life once you are on active duty. In the case of this "sailor" she should have completed her enlistment then jumped on the "All Gods Chillun Aint Free Bandwagon. In ceremonial actions that means you honor the flags, anthems, and courtesies of our host nations. I hope they sock it to her, don't need this "card pulling" I don't like this or that" so I'll act like a child with a full trunk.

    ^^^^ same here. My wife and I talk often of this very same thing. How kids are taught early in life to use the "You're only picking on me, because I'm black".

    Those were the exact words she heard weekly on the Jr. High School playgrounds during lunch duty; when she worked for the school district beginning in the latter 80's. Kid's using the race card, probably the first full complete sentence they're taught to speak....

    There are now many cards in the "poor me" deck. Shit happens every day, it's called life, some times you have to just suck it up and drive on. That woman was given the opportunity to join the Navy, get a decent rate, strike for her stripe, and got paid. How much more EO do you want.

    ntm, losing a valuable TSAR, and future post retired career as well; in a high tech field obviously in the Nuclear world. She just said bye to a lucrative profession/field.

    "I turn on the tube and what do I see
    A whole lotta people cryin' "Don't blame me"
    They point their crooked little fingers at everybody else
    Spend all their time feelin' sorry for themselves
    Victim of this, victim of that
    Your momma's too thin; your daddy's too fat
    Get over it
    Get over it
    All this whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a fit
    Get over it, get over it
    You say you haven't been the same since you had your little crash
    But you might feel better if they gave you some cash
    The more I think about it, Old Billy was right
    Let's kill all the lawyers, kill 'em tonight
    You don't want to work; you want to live like a king
    But the big, bad world doesn't owe you a thing
    Get over it
    Get over it
    If you don't want to play, then you might as well split
    Get over it, get over it
    It's like going to confession every time I hear you speak
    You're makin' the most of your losin' streak
    Some call it sick, but I call it weak
    You drag it around like a ball and chain
    You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain
    You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown
    Got your mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody down
    Complain about the present and blame it on the past
    I'd like to find your inner child and kick its little ass
    Get over it
    Get over it
    All this bitchin' and moanin' and pitchin' a fit
    Get over it, get over it"




    ...compliments of Don Henley

    now that is possible, since he's not been seen in a long enough time for a makeover- he always had a thing for Caitlyn...

    I could only look for 2 seconds Michael Jackson surgery number 33 or Carla from Cheers before make up
    Van Morrison protects his music rights too. Too bad he is 90% drunk in concert.

    ...big fan of his and I can't think of a better songwriter/lyricist from my generation, maybe ever.

    ...Henry David Thoreau had a very strong influence on me as a teen/young adult and the only time I donated money directly to a cause was for Henley's "Walden Woods Project" (Don is a huge Thoreau fan as well).
    ...actually a pretty good CD if you are an Eagles fan at all...just a collection of some of the most well known Country Western stars singing the songs of the Eagles. Vince Gill absolutely nails Timmy Schmidt's "I Can't Tell You Why"...all of the proceeds of the album went to a fund to forever protect's Thoreau's Walden Pond site from greedy developers.
