Shaun King, BLM’s token white black man has taken up the cause of Jjanaye Ervin, an eight year Navy veteran who contrary to Naval regulations, refused to stand during the national Anthem. She thinks what she did was brave. It wasn’t. If she really believed it was the right thing to do, she would have resigned from the Navy, knowing she was in violation. Instead, she thought she could have her cake and eat it too. Let’s face it, if there is any job in the United States where patriotism needs to be required, it’s the military.
Here is a letter King wrote in introduction:
My Friends.
I need to introduce you to Janaye Ervin – an Intelligence Specialist in the Navy and an 8 year veteran who has served our country with honor and discipline.
She is currently stationed in Hawaii.
On Monday, she made the conscious decision, while in uniform, to not stand for the Star Spangled Banner. As a result, her security clearance has been revoked and she has even been threatened with jail. We must stand with her during this time as she has so boldly sacrificed her own comfort because of injustice and racial violence in America.
And here is her comment:
My fellow Americans,
I have been proudly serving in the US Navy Reserve Force since November 2008. I have pledged to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and to spread freedom and democracy around the world. I will never waver from that pledge.
On September 19,2016, while in uniform, 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.
The Navy has decided to punish me for defending the Constitution and has taken away my equipment I need to do my Naval job. It was my pleasure serving my country, I love it dearly, that is why I must do this for you. I will keep you all posted on what happens next!

Now let me get this straight. She is ashamed of this country and finds it unworthy of respect but she is willing to spread it’s ideals around the globe? LOL Maybe Intelligence isn’t where she belongs.
When you do something you know you are not allowed to do, you must be ready to pay the price.
