SauI_Goodman 08/18/18 3:37:49 PM #2:	It is showing disrespect to the men and women who fought for the flag. I personally was glad to hear of the military guy in NO who turned down the saints offer to be recognized because of their actions. And I'm proud of all the first responders in Miami who are currently boycotting the discounted tickets because of Kenny Stills.

Looks like he wants to join Colin Kraepernick and Erica Reid in the unemployment line. The US military hasn't fought in a defensible conflict since the Korean War, and it wasn't even an American war. Everything after that has been fought either to expand the American sphere of influence, to topple unfavorable regimes (almost always democratically elected), or for resources. Nobody we've had a military conflict with in over 70 years has been a demonstrable threat to the country.

Taharqa_ 08/18/18 4:00:59 PM #14:	It's a protest that was intended to bring focus on police brutality, intellectually dishonest folks conflate it with a protest against the military even after repeatedly being told that it's not about the military.
