To the OP, I get it, I understand the anguish however there are 2 more games before the Jags return home.  It is my hope they can make this better for veterans, their families and loved ones.  For me personally I completely understand this past weeks demonstration.  The president overstepped his boundaries and called out group of individuals that have a platform and they used it.
I can say yes to every one of those questions. I also understand that legally using your rights, like peacefully protesting, is actually quite respectful of those who can answer yes to those questions.

Not sure of what your are getting at here.  Where has it been stated that it is illegal to protest in this fashion?  What exactly to you see as respectful?  Taking a knee, sitting on your duff, stretching?  All three?  And what about the parents of the soldier whose coffin you carried?  Do they have a right to deem it disrespectful?

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.
