What Kap did was a slap in the face to all those brave soldiers, who had to deal with a lot of shit in this country, who put their life on the line and fought honorably for the freedom we enjoy today. No different from my great great uncle John Guy Yates who was killed by a Japanese sniper in the Phillipinnes in 44. All those guys, black, white, native american, whatever should be honored by us standing on our feet at attention for 3 minutes out of our 168 hour week.Even more appalling, a black Iraq veteran who lost his legs in Iraq and couldn't stand for the anthem, lifted himself up by the handles of his wheel chair and held position during the Anthem, Kap is a disgrace. Didn't make a stand during the Super Bowl, but does so when he is 2nd string at a preseason game. Pathetic.


There are still a few black WW2 veterans that are alive. Hopefully we can hear from some of them about what they think of Kaepernick. We've sure heard enough people speak for them, without their input.

Telling that this is your only response to the truth. I stand at our National Anthem for those brave soldiers who fought and dies for our country in WW2 and thank them every day I am not speaking German. No matter what their opinion of Kap is I will continue to do so for the rest of my days no matter what this country goes through.
