Then he should STFU about the NFL. He recently said that a player that kneels should be thrown out of the country. Yet, he's often in the past praised peaceful protests.

Funny that The Star Spangled Banner was written about a bunch of war criminals bombing the **** out of another bunch of war criminals.

And the flag at games is usually held (in a disrespectful way) by a newer crop of war criminals, while a bunch of older generation war criminals wear their war criminal hats, pin, and jackets in the crowd with tears in their ewyes.

That's quite a false equivalency mate. I'm not saying that it isn't a dumb opinion to have because nationalism is for dimwits, but having a fetishistic respect for the flag doesn't require serving in the military.

Anyway, how long have you served in the military my dude? What did you do when your "number came up"? Because if you didn't serve in the military then you're not allowed to have an opinion on this I guess. Your rules, not mine.

You're starting to catch on. Next time you should mention that it was written by a lawyer who fought to imprison abolitionists.

Nope. I don't really get your rule either mate but I wanted to work on a common premise.

It's actually Dutch. Very close though.

It's not often that the Whitehouse and mainstream USA is prepared to honour Native Americans, so this was presumably an especially proud moment for the three vets, their friends and families. Unfortunately, a swaying, smirking jerk photobombed the occasion before making a completely out of place remark about Pocohantas:-

You can't believe that Donny's a braying jackass? It's a well-embedded concept by now for me.
