They weren't my friends.  They were the disgusting enemy, as was their selfishness, which most Americans still possess.  Nice try, scooter.

I'll outline this for you:

When I took my enlistment oath, the defining moment was defense of the Constitution.  If you don't know what the military oath is, look it up.  It's short and to the point.

When the President took his oath (almost said military but he's a draft dodger), the main point is defense and upholding the Constitution.

Look up the U.S. Code that defines treatment of the flag and especially the section on Respect.  The flag is a living thing (says so in the code).

When I took my oath and faced that flag, it said to me that it represents the Constitution, and that the strength of this country was to stand up in the face of its fears to allow freedom.  When those players kneel, right or wrong their timing, that flag is saying I stand for this.

That's the United States.  Not a bunch of fall in line flag waving sissies.
