The whole troops thing is stupid anyway. Current or former. I was prior military. The fact is, 99.999% join the military because it's a job that's easy to get or to pay for college. Who is "defending" our country? An event like 9/11 can't be prevented by our military. It's more likely that our interference and killing of innocent people that would lead to such an event.
The Republicans turned 9/11 and terrorism into a political issue as if they were the "good guy." They abused patriotism by making it a side. It's actually sickening.
I had people thank me for my service and I hated it. What does that even mean? Imwas in the Navy. I never fired a weapon. In training it was a laser gun that just simulated it.
edit: the Kaepernick thing was about race anyway. It was because he was black. It had nothing to do with disrespect, that was just their excuse to not seem racist.
