Those that conflate fighting for our nation with a Sunday afternoon football game missed what we did in those jungles, beaches, seas, and forests.

Forcing others to follow a practice they disagree with insults every man and woman who died or bled for our nation.

No war was won because someone at home wore a flag pin. Wars were won because we prevailed in the end.

Jingoism has killed a lot of Americans unnecessarily.

The colors of the flag mean: "Charles Thomson, Secretary of the Continental Congress, explained the significance to Congress when he presented the seal. “The colors,” Thomson said at the time, “are those used in the flag of the United States of America. White signifies purity and innocence. Red, hardiness & valour, and Blue… signifies vigilance, perseverance & justice.”" While many have bled for, and on, our flag, the red in the flag was never to signify blood.

Yes, many veterans came home and were spit on. The vast majority weren't. The worst though were those that bought deferments for bone spurs and other trivial complaints. The one who called those held in horrendous prison camps "losers". It's funny how some people that hold this man up as a hero ignore his insults to veterans. To those wounded. To those who didn't come home. And when some people clearly state that they disagree with the abuses of the government, they are the ones called traitors.

If you want to take a knee, go for it. I don't; I stand with my hand on my heart. But I do it from my own volition, not because I have to. If someone wants to make an issue of whether or not I stand for our anthem then it is they who has the problem.

Those who whine the loudest didn't serve.

What a complete moron you are! If the country had been stupid enough to elect Hillary we would have had 4 more years of a "do nothing" presidency. She represents nothing more than a paper tiger who wants to be queen of the US similar to the Queen of England. All that your leftist gov't has done is to drive us further and further into an open border country that would become more Muslim everyday. Our Muslim president did everything that he could to infiltrate gov't offices with Muslims. As far as learning Russian, I'll take the Russkies anyway over the Muslims. At least the Russians are civilized whereas the Muslims are still many centuries away from civilization. However with your thinking, your grandchildren are going to grow up under Sharia law and bowing down to face the east several times a day..... Think about the legacy that you would be leaving them with........ What a complete moron you are!
