Whether or not you believe someone kneeling is disrespectful, you literally signed up to protect their ability to do that.
As I said: I did sign up to defend the Constitution and I have stated that I will defend CK's right to kneel. That does not negate my right to say this action shows disrespect to the Nation.
As to the kneeling; I have mentioned before it is more respectful, especially to the Military, than sitting; yet, it shows less respect for the Nation than standing and covering your heart and/or signing along.
I'm not sure where the disconnect is here. I assume most realize CK does not stand as a sign of disrespect to the Nation.
