Most veterans respect the right to protest as long as your not disrespecting the flag or their bretheren. Media is spinning a hero, not cool. Nobody can speak for a dead man, but I think many veterans who are living have spoken. Kinda ridiculous TBH. Specially when a man judges a situation on it's merits. I can say I'm pretty confident he wouldn't, but that's only my opinion. If he was alive he would tell us his stance. But he's not, so none of us will know.

This is just another political stunt by a mega company to get the cash out of some pockets and skyrocket free publicity. LOL, and we blame Trump for being the one who divides America? I think there are many hands holding the ladle that stirs that pot because it's profitable. And here's the shocker, they don't care about any of us, only our ability to work and produce.

I can only assume that the left saw this and decided: Hell we really cannot attack the point that Tillman sacrificed more, so let's attack the messengers. They feign outrage yet willingly twist Ms Tillman's words to support their agenda. She clearly said he should not be politicized in a way that divides us. To suggest Tillman is a better candidate that Kaep does not politicize this, If anyone politicized the message it is Nike and those feigning outrage at folks that suggest Tillman is a better choice.

Those that ingenuously partially quote MS Tillman will say you are "going against her wishes by suggesting Tillman would be a better choice for their anniversary campaign fail to mention in the same letter she said:

Quote:"Those that serve fight for the American ideals of freedom, justice and democracy," she wrote. "They and their families know the cost of that fight. I know the very personal costs in a way I feel acutely every day. The very action of self expression and the freedom to speak from one's heart — no matter those views — is what Pat and so many other Americans have given their lives for. Even if they didn't always agree with those views."

It's just the left's feeble attempt at shaming and they don't agree with the message so they attack folks who disagree with their views.
