A decorated US Navy admiral took the time to troll Colin Kaepernick during the 75th Anniversary Pearl Harbor Day Commemoration ceremony on Wednesday — saying those who died on that fateful day “never took a knee and never failed to stand” during the national anthem.

The remarks were made by U.S. Pacific Command Commander Adm. Harry Harris, who had a father and four uncles serve in World War II.

“You can bet that the men and women we honor today — and those who died that fateful morning 75 years ago — never took a knee and never failed to stand whenever they heard our national anthem being played,” Harris told the crowd in Hawaii, sparking a lengthy standing ovation.

“Angela Davis” Kaepernick doesn’t deserve mentioning in anything, really.

Nor did they wear a shirt with an oppressor like Castro on it while complaining the U.S. is oppressive all the while making 12 million a year playing football.

I was a bit surprised when I saw his picture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_B._Harris_Jr.

Good for the Admiral.

Subject in question is a mere skid mark.

Veterans and active duty military, above all, are disgusted with behavior such as Kaepernick's.
The stupid sniveling little shit and his buddies on the left deserve all the scorn they get - and then some.

That reminds me of the scene in Tora,Tora,Tora when the Navy band is playing the anthem while bombs are dropping around them.

I watched that movie last night. That scene has also left an impression with me.

I wish a group of military without limbs could go out and stand in front of these punks while the National Anthem is played. Stand right in front of them and after its over get in their faces.

You are not understanding Kaepernick. He would be happy to see that veterans are wounded. He hates America and it’s troops. It’s hard to believe people raised in America can be like that, but some are.

The Generals and Admirals can start saying how they really think now that there will be a CiC that actually respects them.
