“Veterans for Peace”

They tried out ROTC in HS, I’ll bet. But were kicked out?

The Pledge of Allegiance IS a prayer, you know.

One Nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Still, the protocol is that during the recitation, the crowd stands at attention, saluting if in uniform, or hats removed and right hand over heart.

Here in WA State, the veterans in the American Legion are unbelievably liberal.

Yeah, I can see this happening in some places.

Yes, but not now and not with the anti-American sentiment that has been whirling around the kneelers like the stench at a landfill.

The ENTIRE Anthem flack goes back to a mulatto throw away kid that decided to be an a$$hole ... kapernick !

So keep the apologetics to yourself, this is treasonous disrespect .... period.

This isn’t “back in the day” ... this is now. REAL Vets don’t take a knee during the anthem, they stand at attention and salute the flag.

“One Nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

As written, there is no comma therefore no pause between “One Nation” and “under God”.
