[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 241127, member: 198"] I spent 5th and 6th grades in Georgia and that's how we did it in Bremen. That's what my dad, who was an officer in the USMC and served in Vietnam, taught me. I'm not sure what's "correct," but as long as people are respectful of others around them, I won't criticize. Kaepernick has the right to protest as he deems appropriate. As long as he's not infringing on someone else's right to participate in the singing of the National Anthem or whatever, I'm not offended. (Not directed to the [USER=1640]@Northeast Stinger[/USER]) Just because you see his protest as disrespectful to his country doesn't mean he sees it as disrespectful to the military or specific individuals. Generally when we protest, we're protesting against the establishment and/or the leaders of the establishment. Are there better, less devisive ways to protest, probably. To a large segment of the American population, his actions overshadow his intent, which is to shine a spotlight on what he feels is injustice. Unfortunately, his approach alienates a majority out-of-hand. [/QUOTE]
