Quote:You lose! The mental midget was in UNIFORM! I did not tie just anyone protesting to that term. Maybe your response says more about you than me?
Nope. It ties right back into what I said to JIB. If they hadn't bothered to look into the consequences, or hadn't even considered that there might be consequences for doing so, then yeah, that was pretty stupid. If they knew the consequences and chose to go ahead with their protests anyway, well, I'd be honored to be associated with a mental midget of such stature.
Quote:#1. Any active military person that thought protesting The National Anthem was a good idea displays ignorance beyond belief.
#2. The military has done more to promote racial harmony than any other institution in America. Sports being a close second.
#3. The Tailhook Scandal occurred in 1993 and brought to light a serious wrong. The military has been working to correct past mistakes ever since. Do incidence still occur? Yes. Yet, I can point the same issues occurring on college campuses post for post and I see more action to correct the wrong from our military branches than academia.
#4. You trying to connect these two issues to justify a mental midget's protesting The National Anthem while in uniform is disingenuous at best.
Priorities. They should get their priorities straight.
