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.

I wish people would just calm down.
“I would have stood in front of the idiot.”
And farted.
It is called a natural consequence. Something liberals never understand.
Just like them taking down Confederate statues. Next step will be changing the name of cities and boulevards. Just like in the USSR
I think being on both knees is totally different than one.
You’re a good mom. And a good wife. Men will only be men if they have a real women behind them, supporting them. And in some cases reminding them what they need to do.
You said knees. The photo shows only one knee. That’s totally different.
No outrage for the person taking the photo and not honoring the moment?
With that mane of hair, he could be Humperdinckie.
Foolish, idiotic, disrespectful, ungrateful, criminal, without faith, morals, or any understanding of what America, the flag, and our sacred symbols stand for. This absolute moron and slave to the radical left and democrats that enable idiots like this disrespect all that protects and allows their freedom. If there were no soldiers, airmen, sailors, Marines protecting the borders, if there was no law enforcement, fire, and medical first responders, if there were no tax payers, business owners, and elected government to mange society you would have nothing left to feed, cloth, house, protect, defend, these idiots. If society collapsed tomorrow these idiots would not see the light of day for they would be the first thugs eliminated and cleaned off the streets of America. The ones left after they slaughter each other in the inner cities would be wiped out by the millions of patriotic armed and freedom loving Americans that would rally round the flag and protect their communities and clean up the trash.
Well I say, “If they take a knee, just give’em the FINGER!!”
And, bravo NRA, herein: https://youtu.be/z3j1ZKz7PWQ
On a recent Sunday at Church a bugler played Taps. I rose as did a man in a pew next to me. Then slowly around the room men rose and placed hand over heart. It was a powerful event and a reminder of just how many have served the flag.
Seriously, ever since they ended it every new generation seems more America hating than the last with the latest completely off the wall with hate. They all talk about “white privilege” well what about “American privilege”? They hit the jackpot living in this country and they crap on it like spoiled rotten ungrateful punk asses.
this is going violent very soon. We will not tolerate this desecration of our fallen, our flag or our anthem by blacks or any one else.
Amen !!!
Me too.
The trouble is that would require basic thought...
What race is privileged on the NFL fields? I’m tired of it!! Where is affirmative action there?
maybe, but i doubt it...
It takes energy to be outraged. I don’t know where people get it.
Yep, and these guys are payed millions to play a game. It doesn’t get any more “privileged” than that. My father when he was in the New York city Police dept. took a test for Sargent and he got high marks but they told him he was passed over for black cops to meet the affirmative action quota. Affirmative action is as racist as it gets. Plus some city jobs, they will not hire anybody BUT blacks! Like 911 dispatchers, they’re 95% black. It’s racist as hell and nobody says anything. This why you get stories like this every now and then - Cop gets shot and 911 operator says “Good!”.
