You think the military was just standing there with the flag waiting their turn?

If the anthem was playing, all the flag holders holding flags that aren't the American flag would dip them.

The only flag that flies upright during the anthem is the American flag.

All flags are upright? The anthem is not being played in that picture.

(P.S. Not that the kneeling *before* the anthem isn't also a silly little piece of Attention Look-At-Me Theater. My only point is that it was not while the anthem was being played.)

Its not. It goes on everywhere, which is why it should be widely tolerated. Everyone is raised differently, and they way you act know is usually based on how you were raised. I can't fault my parents for how I was raised. But I can at least be conscious of the fact that others were influenced in the same way by their parents & surroundings. It doesn't mean they are a piece of shite. I want to see things through their perspective to gain a better understanding of why we are different

I can't tell if this a troll or not, but I've always been of the opinion that when an a-hole shows their true colors you should be thankful, not get all pissed off. Now they don't get to hide in plain sight
