[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you stand, remove your hat, hand over heart, anything during the national anthem? (directed to those who find the pledge fascist, immoral, etc)[/quote]

No. [/quote]

I take out my phone and load up candy crush, it's a great way to pass the time until everyone else is finished.[/quote]

I am partial to Scrabble.[/quote]

I hope next time you do that you are standing next to someone recently returned from deployment. [/quote]

I dont do it based on the people around me, so it wouldn't matter much.  I don't respect the former President's decision to invade Iraq on false pretenses. I feel sorry for all the soldiers that had to deploy there because of his greed/personal agenda. [/quote]

I don't respect it much either. But I do respect the sacrifices that our service people are making over there (now under Obama for the past 6 years) and I respect their ability to punch you in the face when you show such flagrant and purposeful disrespect. [/quote]

They can try,  but they will probably end up on the floor though. FWIW my choosing not to participate is not being disrespectful to what they do for a living. We all (well most of us) contribute to America in our own way....I don't recall the last time I attacked someone for not going out of their way to show respect to what I do for a living...So I guess you are right, many soldiers do lack impulse control, must be a soldier thing...

and FYI since it seems you never picked up on the obvious sarcasm.  I don't actually pull out my phone just to spite people during the pledge/anthem.  But If I'm already engrossed in something, I don't necessarily drop everything to recite it though.    That's my 2 cents.[/quote]

I've noticed how inherently tough and brave men who post on mommy web sites and whine about our anthem are.
