Here a few few comments that I collected from others.
First, people emotionally rush to judgment and cry that the protest is offensive to veterans. Then, veterans overwhelmingly support him.
Next, people rush to exclaim that he is doing this for attention and himself only without actually making a difference. Then he donates 1,000,000 dollars.
Most importantly, he proves every racist and nationalist wrong with his intelligence, articulation, patience, and demeanor.
Maybe all of those people should hop on the right side of history for once before it's too late.
He said 22 veterans commit suicide a day and that part of his sitting or kneeling represents oppressed veterans. Will the media be talking about that or continue to smear him? Hmmm next complaint?

I'm supporting for what he is doing. I did not defend the Constitution for 8 years for police brutality be brushed under the rug. I've been silent for too long. Its time for me to join them in protest.

Saying he's going to donate isn't the same thing as donating. I'll hold judgement on that in reserve until he actually does it. And I think it's important to note that veterans support HIS RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH...not necessarily him, himself.

I did not take it out of context. If he wanted to make a statement against the government- refuse the money you make which is backed by that government.

Our money is backed by the federal Reserve a privatized bank but I see your point.

SSG Trust Palmer - I love he is trying to find a forum, but wrong thing to select and I don't think he thought it through. We fight for the right to have an opinion and be able to state it- but wrong representation of delivery so to speak. The flag/anthem represents the republic and not the men running it. His broad statement is a mockery of his whole life and how he lived it to this point. I was young once too and did a lot of foolish things- just not on such a grand scale.

Maj Marty Hogan - But ya see, who sets the standards for your life? Sometimes you get up and sit for what you want. IMO opinion: he didn't make a mockery of anything. But everyone one has a right to believe in what they want.
