[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those of you who see encouraging or suborning protest during the pledge/anthem as political indoctrination of children: how is it not political indoctrination to encourage/expect children to recite the pledge of allegiance and to stand at attention during the anthem? You are simply encouraging a different form of indoctrination with this "my country, right or wrong" attitude. [/quote]

We are standing because "WE" are our country, NOT some leader, monarch or individual. We the people. We are standing to honor our ideal: liberty and justice for all.

We are standing to honor those who bled on the battlefield to protect "WE" Americans and our ideals above, and for those whose coffins come back wrapped in our flag.

The red stripes on the flag symbolize blood shed on the battlefield btw.

The flag is not Trump, or Obama, or any president, politician or political party.  The flag is we the people and the ideals that we aspire to and fight for.

When they are protesting the flag, it is not a symbol of Trump they are insulting. T[b]hey are insulting our ideals and those who fought and died for those ideals.[/b]

That is what is so insulting about this stupid "protest"[/quote]

Actually the opposite. They are honoring the ideal our military fights for, like freedom of speech.

Everybody that served(s) in the military in my family supports the peaceful protest. [/quote]
