It's different because people can't see you.

The ONLY reason I do it at live events is because if I didn't everyone would stare at me and have something to say. They'd lump me in with ol Kap.
If it's good enough for live events you can do it at your house. lol

I think it's a silly really old tradition. Hats on, hats off... hand over heart... salute, don't salute... stupid song... 
but hey... it is what it is. When I go to a game, I'll appease the masses. But if they stop doing the national anthem at live events I would be way OK with it.

It isn't a disrespect the military thing. Hell, I'm all about 'Merica!
I just find things like the pledge and anthem to be silly weird traditions that are used as political talking points more than anything.
George Carlin was the best at tearing crap like that down and making it funny.
