His protest has nothing to do with Veterans. Its his right to protest, not his ideals that they support. Period.
The media is lumping veterans in with the National Anthem angle. Sad.
It was written over 200 years ago. I love my nation, my anthem and my people regardless.
Quit trying to involve the very "CITIZENS" who "VOLUNTARY" serve.
As a Veteran, protecting this nation against "ALL ENEMIES... FOREIGN & DOMESTIC" is priority #1.
You wanna rewrite the Anthem because its not a One Size Fits All? Sign Up at your local recruiter for either a Local or National Service.
Pay your taxes, become a citizen and serve your country. Lip Service to most Veterans gets you nothing but a smile.
What you want is the quiet nod, which acknowledges the truth. Very little nodding going on right now. Ignorance on both sides of the issue.
