I think most veterans would agree that kneeling during the National Anthem is disrespecting those that have worn the uniform and in particular those that have paid the ultimate price.
Most veterans also generally vote for the party that is most likely to send them into harm’s way for good reason or bad. Veterans have been “indoctrinated” by their leaders who depend on war (and threat of war) for their advancement through the ranks.
The supremely disrespectful stance toward any country’s service people (those who fight and are wounded, captured, or killed) is to send them into harm’s way without a damn good and justified reason. Self enrichment or to stay in office is NOT a valid reason. Neither is American imperialism or the denial of self rule to the “enemy.” Yes, I watched Burns et al’s Viet Nam War. And I lived through that period but, fortunately, did not have to go there… or Canada (although, I did go to Buffalo for a couple of years and from there, visited Toronto <g>).
