When I served in the United States Marine Corps, when the sun was going down and the flag was being lowered and they played Taps, it was an honor to stand at attention and salute the flag.
I guess that’s gone now. I would ask these “women”, “Who do you play for?” I would hope to hell their answer would be, “I play for The United States of America.” Oh well, doesn’t impact me.
