Why is this an issue?! We’ve seen what these people, who are supposed to represent this country on a worldwide level, have acted before. Does it upset me? Yes. This has been my moral dilemma since I served in the military (1984-2016) and to today. Fighting for the rights of the ungrateful, who turn around and spit on those who sacrificed so much, so they can be as ungrateful as they want.
Sorry for the early morning rant. God Bless all.
When you're on the national team, you do not get to be disrespectful.
Colin Kaepernick played for San Francisco. So that's a different story. But he's out of the league now.
Exactly. “I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to my death your right to say it” I always hated that self-sanctimonious statement. Screw them. Not literally (shudder).
You did it for the promise of those after you, great love of country, and sacrifice itself. Recognition and honor is great but in my opinion that is not why you served, if I should be so bold to say and very Christ like.
Remember - Romans 5:8 - But God commendeth his charity towards us; because when as yet we were sinners, according to the time, Christ died for us; much more therefore, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through him.
