You know what, it is a freedom of speech issue. If foot ball players want to make themselves look like jack***es by sitting or kneeling during the anthem then so be it. But those in uniform doing it is a huge no-go. She has no support from me or probably anyone else. You want to "protest" the flag or anthem, do it out of uniform. You do something like that while wearing your uniform then you get whatever punishment is coming to you. You signed a contract agreeing to abide by regulations. This is plain and simple failure to comply.
I'm curious to see what they decide to do about it, even if it's just paperwork.

I agree SrA Matthew Knight It is in the regs about exactly how to act in these situations and how to respect the flag. Honestly, I hope the sailor finds herself as a civilian again in the very near future, as anyone in uniform who is protecting what that flag stands for needs to be able to show the respect required of a US Service Member.

Well, that settles it. But it's written in black and white, failure to obey a lawful general order. There shouldn't be no "under review". Clearance is gone, she won't be able to be trusted with any information. If she's also a reservist, does she have a civilian employer; if so, if they were to get word of what has happened, would she be able to continue to work with the backlash she's been receiving?
