Me questioning your post is far from gullibility and on point with the knowledge of how the system worked for many. Although there was a draft, it was quite simple to stay at home. Congress did not declare war, opening a wide door to deferments. Anyways, to add a twist to the hypocrisy, you can't be patriotic unless you have served in the military, correct? Is that what you are pushing?

That's absolutely not what I'm saying. I am saying you can't call others out for being unpatriotic, if you were a draft dodger. Try to spin it any way you want, but Trump was a draft dodger. He's no better than Bill Clinton, Sly Stallone, Ted Nugent or Bruce Springsteen.

Why not? Most of those millionaires out there kneeling have never been beat by the police or suffered inequality, yet they have the freedom to protest? Trump was a military academy cadet and received deferments like thousands of other folks. He didn't run across the border and hide. Why isn't he afforded the same freedom of voice? Seems to me that there may be a bit of bias in your thought process.

The fact of the matter is this protest crap is and always was ill-timed. It was an attention grab, not a solution. Now the message is lost amongst a divided and p'd off nation. One side generally cares about their nation and want solutions. The other side lacks pride and has a not my problem mentality. They would watch grandma get beat down for her purse and not lift a finger.

You already have players and owners walking back from the idiotic display. I imagine there will be a lot more in the coming weeks when bottom lines get messed with. The NFL will need to step up and declare how this will get handled moving forward to save face.
