Pat Tillman's Widow speaks out against disrespectful protest

[Trouty]

The Vets and current people serving are just a pawn in the fight, the people using the Vet/Military as an argument in this argument are the ones actually disrespecting them

Grrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for taking the time to actually read the article. I was wonder how long it would take someone to catch on.

All time great rebound, my brother in Arms, Star

Tillman wasn't in Vietnam.

LOL!!!!!!!!

Idgit, you had me at "hello"

THEY? Settle down. It was a light-hearted little post aimed at mrtxstar to try to lighten the hostility a little bit.

But I gotta say, as a person (and not in any staff capacity) I find your implication a bit offensive.

I get you, my friend

Many Veterans have came out and said to stop using them to try and guilt trip the players who protested.

Of course there is racism by cops perpetuated against minorities ........ only a fool would deny it ........ and of course they patrol and scrutinize low income neighborhoods more than rich neighborhoods.

Being the son of a mixed husband and wife here in East Texas I am very familiar with racism.

What some of us have a problem with is what we feel is disrespect shown to the Anthem, Flag, and Military by these millionaires during a life television sporting event.

As ex military I fought for the rights for people to protest ........ I also fought for the right of people to disagree with the protest.

It work both ways.

If they really want to protest .......... do it when you are not getting paid.

I mean thats how normal people protest ......... these players should show they care enough to lose a paycheck ........ instead of kneeling while being paid millions ....... sit out the game.

Amazing reply, Z. I respect your argument, my brother.

and many veterans I know and myself feel they can do it another way and not upstage the national anthem so who is right.

I'm talking about those who try to act like they speak for all veterans about how the protests disrespect the people who have served. There are some who may say just do it another way and some who are just using the military for cover and would have a problem with protesting no matter where, when, or how it is done.

Some just want people to be silent and act like America is this flawless,perfect nation, when we still have a long way to go if America wants to be as great as some people claim it is.

The true meaning behind that photo I will call into question looking at date and timestamp on the tweet.

Ok I will take that as a valid "source" even though the Post has been known to ***** things here and there like every other "reputable" new source

It is disgusting people using Veterans as a pawn in this Anthem/Flag argument.

That's an interesting comment considering how long the left has been using black people as pawns for their anti-American agenda. Hey, hey, ho, ho, Western Civ has got to go.
