[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whether you say the pledge or not is your business.  But, sitting during the pledge is disrespectful--and any "educated" eprson would know that.

just like you don't talk during a prayer--even if you are an atheist.  It is disrespectful to those around you.

Most forms of protest are “disrespectful “  but it’s not dishonoring vats.[/quote]the

Ask the Vietnam vets about what dishonoring vets means.

And, the "vet" who posted said that most vets feel the same way he does.  I strongly disagree and I am married to a highly educated vet who cannot believe it when people choose to disrespect the flag.

Of course, they have the "right" to do it.  It doesn't mean it is not disrespectful.  It also doesn't mean that most vets feel the way he does.  [/quote]

What vets like your husband don’t understand is that people don’t HAVE to respect the military and if they don’t it’s because the US military goes into other countries, destroys them, kills their citizens, creates massive upheaval to economic systems, etc. in the name of US hegemony. I get that people who enlist are told they’re “protecting their country” so they feel they’re doing good work but they’re really just advancing US dominance over other sovereign countries. American citizens are not obligated to respect a massive military that gobbles resources that could be used to sustain life for citizens in the US and that functionally destroys other countries to protect and hoard US assets.

Yes, all of this. [/quote]
