Full Headline: "Picture of man kneeling during taps at tomb of the Unknown Soldier is sparking outrage following NFL protests"

The picture comes when kneeling during the national anthem is resulting in protests of the NFL.

A photo that has gone viral while circulating among the online military community shows a man at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery, kneeling down on one knee reportedly during the playing of taps, and is sweeping across America, outraging thousands. “Taps” is a bugle call played at dusk, during flag ceremonies, and at military funerals by the United States armed forces and is regularly played at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Who is outraged, and why? Do the nutty leftists think they own the “kneeling” protest stance, and it cannot be used for those who wish to pray?

I am outraged, for one. The dude in the picture is not praying. He’s being an a**hole. This is one of the most sacred places on the Earth. And they are playing Taps. WTF, man.

I’m old enough to remember the kerfuffle over Tim Tebow’s taking a knee. As I recall, it was for a different reason... and wasn’t permitted.

This is what you call “overplaying” your movement.

Not if he’s down on both knees with his head bowed down and both his hands clasp together in prayer.
