You're full of ****. You claim to have served, maybe you did, but I gotta strong suspicion you were 'that guy' in your unit. Stop trying to cover your disdain for America because you didn't get what you wanted out of life with this faux intellectualism copy and pasted from an internet sight. I saw things in service to my country that I didn't like or agree with as well but I was never naive enough to believe America was perfect and fortunately had people around me that taught me sometimes **** happens but you don't have to let it beat you and become a victim. No matter what you think of the wars or American policies (here & abroad) this is the greatest country on earth, warts and all. There is no where else on this planet where a person can or does have more opportunity. Among the men I served with (of all races and backgrounds) you'd get your ass beat spewing this bullshit. I know this is cliche but if you're so convinced that America is a fraud and you've been lied to and had your piece of the pie stolen...GTFO. Yesterday. As far as Kaepernick, I believe he has every right to kneel, sit or scratch his ass during the anthem and I won't say a word but that doesn't mean he's not a shitbird. Also, try not talking down to people. You'll sound less like a pompous asshole.
I apologize in advance to everyone else for this.
