President doesn't know what flag stands for
Where did the draft dodger, four deferments before grasping the health issue "bum leg," get the patriotic fever? Seems he does not know the reality of what the flag really means. It is not a symbol of our leadership (or lack of), rather the idea it is based upon. A government of the people upon which all are created equal. I would concur to the act of kneeling to show all is not equal.
I was Active Duty Army three-quarters of a decade, Three years Europe, AGI/CMI team. 1965-1966 Vietnam where I saw the majority of draftees 18-20 that when they got back from 'Nam could not have any voice in selecting those that sent them over there. They were not old enough to vote, but old enough to die.
