2. People who love this country protest because they want to "make America great again".  Our current president ran on a platform of disrespect for our country.

1. Isn't that exactly what I said? The flag represents the Nation and they are kneeling to not show respect (disrespect) for the Nation is represents. I do not think one person knelt because they intended to disrespect the Military and I personally am not offended, but it is a show of disrespect. It is the impetus for doing so.

2. People who love this country put their lives on the line so others can protest.
