…not that kneeling during the national anthem has a goddamn thing to do with disrespecting the military.
I agree. I'm a combat veteran and I support NFL players when they #Taketheknee because I support their Constitutional right to freedom of expression. I backed up my words with deeds. Has nothing to do with flag or military. Racism is the cause. https://t.co/764VsNjtg5

#CadetBoneSpurs doesn't know Jack about honor or respect.
I'm an Army veteran, and I stand with and for the players.#BlackLivesMatter #TakeAKnee #TrumpLies

You're despicable. I'm a veteran and I will #TakeAKnee with Kaepernick before I EVER stand with you or trump. You care nothing about the Constitution.

I've got 4 combat tours, which is 4 more than you do.
They can take a knee if they want, which was the whole fucking point of those 4 tours. https://t.co/7GK3dBEIQq— soonergrunt 🇺🇸 (@soonergrunt) September 24, 2017
#TakeAKnee As a veteran, I thought we served to protect a citizen’s right to protest , not punish them for protesting.

NAILED IT. As a veteran, I kneel with Kap. The "freedoms" the military protects for are the very ones he exercises, and fights to preserve for our fellow Americans. pic.twitter.com/IkXZLWdj4Z

FYI. Jackie Robinson, a veteran, said this in his autobiography. "I cannot stand or sing the anthem. I cannot salute the flag." #TakeAKnee pic.twitter.com/Un2jgMUatq

As a veteran this is the flag I have respect for, not the flag that represents the US government and @POTUS. Continue to kneel #NFL pic.twitter.com/9thnH5iBfu

Today we kneel!!! As a veteran, I don’t see it as disrespect for the flag or country, I see it as a stand against disrespect for the People pic.twitter.com/TcdcSlTIFe

This is why they kneel. It's their right to do so in peaceful protest & you WILL NOT deny them that in my name.

I am a veteran. Until that flag stands for everyone, we kneel.

I've paid more "respect" than most of you will ever conceive of. Do NOT tell me that #TakeTheKnee is "disrespect." #VeteransForKaepernick pic.twitter.com/oIf4tBJQ08
