I grew up in a military family - my father served in the US Army during WWII, Korea, and Viet Nam, and from a young age I was taught that by standing during the National Anthem, removing your hat, and remaining quiet you were showing respect for all who served and all who died protecting this country. We serve under the flag while in uniform and we serve under the flag on our last assignment!

Let's not make this into a race thing me as a black American combat veteran I see both side and personally I no problem with them it's part of there Constitutional right and let talk about the people whom burn the American flag in protest which I find appalling and disrespectful by all minds!

If you read the article it was clearly articulated that this is an American thing. I find your comment close to reverse discrimination. See my point if I said Let's not make this into a race thing. As an Italian American I see both sides of the protest. Bringing up my ethnic heritage or my appearance based on how much vitamin d changed the pigment of my skin is making it a race thing. I don't care if your gray, yellow, white, pink, etc. Even MLK stated that the only time racism will cease to exist is when we stop talking about it. Implying McRaven was racist is highly inflammatory language, unwarranted, and further illustrates a lack of nationalism with unity.
