Secondly, is that the guy that said he disappointed that Kap chose the sit and looks forward to the day he will stand for the Anthem again?

Finally, let's say Nate loves the fact that Nate and others sit during the Anthem (of course he doesn't, but let's go with it to help your scenario). 

I think it's disrespectful. Whose opinion are you gonna roll with: a guy that served 6 years or a guy that has served over 30 and is still serving? 

Kneeling during the National Anthem is disrespectful, it is why they do it, to draw attention. Regardless of the hoops folks try to jump through to assert it is not. 

It's almost like I know what I'm talking about:

Quote:“It’s dangerous territory to suggest something like that, just because for me, when I hear ‘sacrifice everything,’ the last thing I think about is money,” Boyer told Seattle’s KIRO Radio. “We’ve been taught since we were children that money isn’t everything, and if it’s a matter of sacrificing money or your brand, that’s far different than sacrificing your life. So, when I see that word everything, that’s what strikes me to be a little bit off-putting for a lot of people not only in the veteran community, but people in general.”........

“It’s an important distinction to understand. Personally, I do not endorse Kaepernick’s method of protest but I absolutely support his right to do so. That is an unpopular place to stand these days, in the radical middle, defending someone you somewhat disagree with.

So kinda like exactly what I said:

He supports Kaep's and other's right to kneel, because they're intent is not disrespect, but this dude understand it is.

He thinks Nike using Kaep cheapens the term sacrifice.

The Left might have to find a new favorite Soldier. There's still Bergdahl.
