https://www.awesomestories.com/images/user/98d9524122a4d1197dd9b3762c4009c9.jpeg For those IDIOTS that kneel for the National Anthem...I suggest you review Normandy .....Midway...Pearl Harbor Historical photos and facts and figures....understanding what really happened...what the hardships were and length of time folks were away from home....families that received the notices of death etc.... Im sure alot OF Tiger families were involved... SO BEFORE YOU BACK THOSE THAT kneel JUST REMEMBER! You have no idea what hardship is until you live in #### of war!!! Go Tigers!!!

Remember black men died and sacrificed in every war that America has fought. They came back home and still treated like third class citizens.

Do you stand up at home? I'm betting you stay sitting on your couch eating your chips and salsa and drinking your beer. Were you in Normandy or any of the other battles you mentioned? Were you even in the military? Have you ever had a gun pointed in your face or been accused of doing something illegal just because of what you look like? How bout you just sit and watch the game and be quiet.And this is coming from a black former Army member who is proud to have served so people can enjoy the freedom of speech to protest injustice.Even if it includes taking a knee.

I stand, was in the military and think if someone does not like America or what it stands for they should leave. I have been to several countries and these young punk thugs that want to disrespect our country should go give it a try elsewhere. I assure you they will come back with a different attitude and maybe some respect for our country and police officers. I have never been harassed to bad by the police to burn my neighborhood down , of course I dint act like a thug. White and Black men will be have a hard time just as equal acting like thugs.

You have no idea how many times I’ve uttered these exact words. I’m 61 years old and my father was in WWII. I do understand that youth can bring out some “defiant” tendencies, God knows the things I did being a teenager in the 70’s that got me many a ### whippings. But this generation is unlike anything else that I’ve ever seen and I place most of that on 2 things, lack of parenting and what is, or should I say not taught in schools like history and respect. When it seems to be ok burn our flag, burn our city’s and it seems to be “acceptable” to kill our law enforcement, something is terribly wrong. The same people/politicians who embrace this line of thinking seem to get re-elected time after time and I always have the same question, who’s dumber, the people in power or the people that keep re-electing them? I’m pretty sure I know the answer to that question. IMHO this country is headed down a path that will end in a very bad way,. You can’t tell by my opinion above but I’m normally a big optimistic but this whole situation is out of control and it’s flat out wrong. I don’t give a crap who disagrees with me and that’s what is great about this country, you can do that, but if we keep headed down this dark path you will not be allowed to give your opinion unless you carry the party line with that opinion. Humm, sounds a little like something that happened that we fought against that was represented in that picture you posted. But wait, I don’t think that’s allowed to be taught in many schools nowadays. I close in saying that there is hope in our youth and obviously not all think in the ways that I’ve described above. Let’s just hope those young people are the ones that help lead our country in the future. This is not a right vs. left thing, it’s a save our great nation for our children “thing”.

Speaking the party line sounds communist to me. Speaking my mind (like you) is American.
