U.S. Navy's first flag: belongs to wrong nation

H/T One Old Vet for alerting me to Navy SEALs ordered to remove ‘don’t tread on me’ Navy Jack from uniforms by Carl Higbie The Daily Caller 11/01 2013

The Navy Jack is the ‘don’t tread on me’ flag, one that has earned a revered place in America’s naval history…This symbol of America’s naval ferocity has spanned our country’s entire existence, flying from the masts of the Continental Navy during the war of independence, to today’s War on Terror….

During my two deployments to Iraq, “Don’t Tread on Me” was a phrase seen on nearly every uniform and platoon space — including mine.

On October 22 an email ordered the Navy Seals to stop wearing this symbol, which many had exerted the option to do.

This is deeper than petty party rivalry. The nation which the Obamacrats give their allegiance  has no connection to the historic American nation the symbols of which they loath and will take every chance to eradicate. Peter Brimelow has called it Anti-America
