Wow.  This person thinks that educated people do not respect this country.  I don't know what group he/she hangs with, but I have been around many highly educated military people and the ones I know respect the flag.

Wonder is this vet is teaching in FCPS--sounds like one whose "wife" tweets a lot.

I'm not surprised you don't understand. She did say "educated."[/quote]
You must belong to the “tolerant” party. [/quote]

Education is something you can definitely obtain even on your own, so no, I don't tolerate ignorance. You choose to be ignorant and that's on you.[/quote]

An Army spouse here.  This person does not understand "educated" if he/she thinks educated people cannot honor their country.  He/she is also clueless if he thinks that many enlisted soldiers and non-coms are not educated.  And, officers are all "educated" with college degrees--and many, many have advanced degrees.

No one claimed that educated people cannot honor their country. I am assuming that PP (and I) claim that educated people understand why reciting a pledge of allegiance daily as some kind of worship ritual is not necessary to show that honor. [/quote]

this. They also know that they protect the constitution and you demanding everybody stand for the flag is in wanton disregard for everything they stand for (no pun intended).

Wanting everybody to stand for the flag is in exact opposition to everything they risked their lives to protect. Which is way more disrespectful than sitting during the PoA. [/quote]
