Vets are always gonna jump on stuff like this. Who can blame them? They are applying their life and sometimes loss of life experiences to the flag and anthem. I would expect a passionate response. That's the reason a person facing sex crime charges for instance, isn't judged by a jury of sex crime victims.

That's what I'm getting at, he's hurting people who have nothing to do with what he's upset about.  He could be a lot more constructive in his cause via different avenues, and not step on the toes of people who are not involved in his "vendetta" at all.  I'm sure Colin wants people to be PC in dealing with him, and them to respect him.  Well mister, respect is a two way street.

Jury analogy is spot on, btw.
