Was this a typical call to the local TV network for a “look at me” coverage?

They have the right to insult and inflame their audience all day long. Their audience has the right to tell them to get the f out of the country all day long as well.

This is not and never has been a 1st Amendment issue.
It is and always has been primarily a workplace issue, ie idiot employees spitting on the customers and milktoast owners allowing it.
Contempt for the flag and for those who respect and/or defend it is merely the thugs' vehicle for outing their ingratitude and lack of character.

The left will abuse and misuse the young and the very old to drive their agenda. They should be ashamed, but they do not know what the word means.

CBS probably talked to a couple hundred vets before they found this one.

Just as a local reporter did to find the one pizza place in IN that said they probably wouldn’t cater a gay wedding. (without noting that they had never been asked to cater any other kind of wedding)

Just because the guy served in WWII does not give him any more credence or standing than anyone else. It was a world war and most were drafted. He could be just another leftist liberal who served and is 97 years old.

You can support a person’s right without stooping to their level. This veteran acted in a shameful manner.

Maybe he’s just confused, thinking perhaps this will get him those “72 virgins everybody’s talking about”

*There’s no fool like an old fool*

Was going to say the same thing.

Old minds can wander and not know what they are doing..

Old knees might want to bend just to prove they can.

Old man doesn’t have to have a reason... he’s probably the one who did not want to serve 80 years ago and saw the opportunity to make a fool of himself again on the field with those other anti American fools.

“There’s no fool like an old fool.”

This old fool and former policeman is about to start taking a knee too if these homicidal cops keep killing innocent people.
