Are there any current or former military members who have come out and said they were offended by players kneeling during the anthem?

The protest has nothing to do with the military. This is the prefect example of people going out of their way to find something to be offended over.

They are protesting the inequal treatment of blacks in the states. That includes police brutality. And modern American police is pretty militarized. So they are protesting against a military, just one that's deployed on American soil to fight the American people.

That's quite a stretch.


You say that now but when a fucking army tank is rolling over your house to quell some protestors it won't seem like much of a stretch.

Opinions of military members vary from person to person. One will say he's the worst human being alive and the next could be all about it. From what I've seen from military members the response to it is a resounding "meh".

Trying is the first step towards failure, so just dont give it a shot and you cant dissapoint.

Basically this. The military is not a monolithic beast, it's made out of individual people.

Kneeling is stupid and you're a jackass for doing it.

It has nothing to do with those who have been wronged. You're just calling attention to yourself like a child acting up in a classroom.

Wielding a confederate flags also makes you a jackass. Also, supporting confederate statues.

The only reason its causing attention is because of people and their hive minded, authoritarian mind complex.

It wouldnt cause attention if people didnt treat kneeling to a song like we are back in colonial america disrepcting the crown.

You should embed the YouTube video so it's more accessible

Also,

My husband is former military and he doesn't find it offensive. He says he joined the Army to protect the constitution and that means protecting freedom of speech.

Every vet I know who saw combat or had combat roles are super upset about it. (which is only about three)

All the vets I know who didn't have combat roles are all for it.
