Perish the thought on brothers, not agreeing with something, still good to go. Well done. And I was being sarcastic...

It's almost like YOU CAN TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH SOMEONE AND NOT CALL THEM NAMES OR BE OVER-EMOTIONALLY INVOLVED.

Wait a minute?!?
There might be consequences to my actions?
Serious question...if you are an "Intelligence Specialist" and have a security clearance, shouldn't y0u have the most minimal ability to be self-aware and know that your appearing to question your loyalty to the United States might have an affect on your ability to retain that security clearance?
Think, people.

Sailor claims Navy revoked security clearance after she disrespected flag
A US Navy Reservist was allegedly stripped of her security clearance after refusing to stand for the national anthem in protest.
The news came by way of a social media post from Black Lives Matter affiliate and Senior Justice Writer for the New York Daily News Shaun King, who gave insight into Naval Reservist Janaye Ervin’s side of the story.
King reported that Janaye Ervin was an eight-year veteran and an Intelligence Specialist in the Naval Reserves allegedly faced repression for refusing to stand for the national anthem.
According to King, “her security clearance has been revoked and she has even been threatened with jail.”
In an official statement on her Facebook page, Ervin said that “The Navy has decided to punish me for defending the Constitution and has taken away my equipment I need to do my Naval job,” claiming that the punishment stems from her refusal to stand on September 19th of this year.
In her statement, she goes on to say that “ I made the conscious decision to not stand for the Star Spangled Banner because I feel like a hypocrite, singing about “land of the free” when, I know that only applies to some Americans. I will gladly stand again, when ALL AMERICANS are afforded the same freedom.”

That sounds like the opposite of disloyal IMO. That said, leave the Navy if you want to protest. It's a conflict of interest at the very least. Being in any kind of uniform while making a political point- and that's what this is- is always unprofessional IMO and goes against the political neutrality that anyone working for the government should observe.

Which is exactly why the boot should go in. A fine, negative annual appraisal or both. What is to say now, she disobeys a lawful command because it is counter to her beliefs? She should be investigated now by CID to ascertain if she is part of the BLM movement.

Could be a violation of the Hatch Act too.

I guess this is what an insider threat looks like.
Article 134 is a helluva drug...
After the first incident, a little corrective training and a summarized Article 15.
Doubling down by making a follow-on political statement IN UNIFORM while being investigated for the first offense? Chapter time.
Bye, Felicia.

What, no credit for making references to Dave Chappelle, Rick James, Ice Cube, *and* MC Hammer (kind of ) in the same post??
