A Veteran's Thoughts on NFL Kneeling

I served 3 tours in Afghanistan as a combat medic. I saved some people. I buried more. The image of my friends in coffins, covered by the American Flag, still haunt me. Why am I telling you this? To make a point: my friends and I served to protect our country, and that includes everything we hold dear. Our rights, our freedoms, and everything else that makes America great. I love the flag. I think it is a symbol for all we hold dear as a nation. However, it is not, in my eyes, a symbol just representing veterans and the military. It represents everyone, of all color, creed, and religion. It represents equality, justice, liberty for all. So when Kaepernick took a knee, I was at first offended. I thought he was disrespecting my friends who died, the ones who will never be the same after what they went through. But then I listened to him. I researched what he stood for, and why he knelt. And I decided that even if I didn't like it, I would never complain about him protesting. It is his right. It is everyone's right. Stand or kneel, I don't care.

Just make sure the message you spread is pure.

Why cops gotta be killin black folk

> Meanwhile in Baltimore, Chicago, St. Louis, LA,

oddly enough cfr was pushing this in their daily mail today

yeah there are cfr members who shitpost

Who?

you know who user

back to your trailer you go oath keeper.

You do realize the thing they're kneeling for is based on a myth
>muh black lives matter
>muh ignorance of black on black crime

No body cares you ZOG welfare queen

love you OP thx for the heals and your perspective

Post CAC or fuck off

No.

>I served 3 tours in Afghanistan

>my friends and I served to protect our country


???????????????????????

Was the Afghanistan government threatening to launch missiles at the USA?

What's wrong with trailers again? Mines comfy as fuck.

What you should know is that it is just the flag and anthem that is allowed to be protested or independent of the league. They did not allow 9/11 stickers on helmets and they did not allow the Dallas cowboys to commemorate the cops that got killed in Dallas. However, they fully allow this.

Now ask yourself... is this about freedom of expression, or is this about spreading anti American sentiment? Funny they won't allow commemorating over 3,000 dead in our nation's largest terror attack. Odd they forbid players paying respect to dead officers in Dallas. Yet they allow and fucking condone this.

This is a chip on Obama's culture war. Globalists are using sports, often viewed as patriotic, as their next move in spreading anti American disdain. You can believe this is just a protest, but you're missing there bigger picture. This is a culture war, and voicing an opinion doesn't mean you can't voice yours.

Now stop acting like a bitch and open your fucking eyes. This is a war on there fabric of America, and they've implemented the battle field of our sports, television, politics, etc... You either back your country and recognize the threat or watch what you stand for fall to shit.

There thing about protesters rights, is that you can refute or offer a rebuttal, because that's also your right. So stop acting like a subservient little bitch to the globalist agenda, faggot.

Nice. Well I am a vet too and the men in my linage have fought in every American war. Why the fuck do I want to watch football players display their political opinions when I can listen to the exact same political opinion from any Hollywood star?

Thank you for your service, goy.

fuck off Russia

> I researched what he stood for, and why he knelt.

And you did not find that he knelt for a non existing issue?

Dumbass Israel drone, it's clear you didn't read a damn thing. Watching your buddy get blown up by an IED scramble your brains?

Nobody is complaining about them practicing free speech, you FUCKING FAGGOT.

They are complaining about them disrespecting a national tradition, which is a perfectly valid criticism considering that THE STATED PURPOSE OF THE KNEELING PROTEST IS TO DISRESPECT A NATIONAL TRADITION IN ORDER TO DRAW ATTENTION TO IMAGINARY NIGGER PROBLEMS.

How about white players start giving the roman salute to protest the HORRIFICALLY SKEWED BLACK ON WHITE VIOLENCE RATE in the country? Shitlibs would instantly go BALLISTIC and you can be damn sure NOBODY IN THE MEDIA would go

>muh first amendment

to defend them.

Fuck yourself, faggot. You should re-enlist and go find an IED to step on. Oh, and you didn't protect shit. You signed up for a CHECK. You FOUGHT FOR MONEY. You're a fucking mercenary, medic or not. Kill yourself.

Source: also a vet, who isn't deluded about modern military """""service""""

lying faggot

At least unit patch and some camel spider pics. Nobody served in 2000's without some deployment pics. Larping as veteran is super ghey and mega disrespectful.

His message is bullshit. Blacks kill more way blacks than white and black cops combined. He should join BLM protests if he really cares about niggers dying in the streets.

Protip: he never will because that's not what this is about.

Never really understood how burgers spin the narrative to 'protecting the USA when there's usually a fucking ocean between them and the shithole they're invading

>I buried more

fuck off. no medics ever "buried" deceased servicemembers overseas. they were all shipped back to the states.

I'm 90% sure you copied this comment from reddit

You're a boot

it's also my right to be able to call out those morons that protest

Bro, the Jew has brainwashed you.
America as a multi-ethnic melting pot is a third-world shithole with a terrifying future.
The war in Afghanistan had nothing to do with 9-11 or our national security.

>killing for money
>fighting to protect warlords that were put in place by the CIA who will violate freedom and democracy as long as they are in power
>protection those poppy fields so that veterans can push the needle in when they are discharged because of missing limbs of PTSD
>OP knows all of this and still thinks he's so great

You promised land to us, do you remember, goy?

>Why cops gotta be killin black folk

See, this is the real problem. Nigs don't want to admit that 95% of the deaths are caused by their own race, they want to focus in on that 1% that's killed by cops like that's what the real problem is.

Like what the fuck do they want? For us to just stop policing our cities and let them do whatever the fuck it is they want? There's a fucking reason every time some fucking blacks move into a neighborhood all the whites flee, and after blacks run everything into the ground they move into another white hood "because it's safe".

Fuck they behave like parasites and nobody wants to admit it.

fuck off ZOGbot. your friends died protecting CIA poppy fields and you fell asleep listening to Afghani boys being raped by their military.

fuck
you

Who cares what some idiot who joined the militar thinks?

You're a piece of shit and I wish you had died like your friends.

The 10% of nigs in the States kill the same amount of whites as whites do who are representing 65% of the population.

Fascinating.

Racist.

>my friends and I served to protect our country
How does protecting the cia poppy fields on the other side of the world protects your country?

tl;dr

>I served 3 tours in Afghanistan as a combat medic. I saved some people. I buried more. The image of my friends in coffins, covered by the American Flag, still haunt me.

2/10 LARPing faggot - that shit read like a scene from South park, you fucking goon toon. Also, we don't have hearts here and if we're going to spread a "pure" message it'll certainly be about a group of disrespectful niggers right now. Yup.

>. I researched what he stood for, and why he knelt.

While I believe Russia could be an allied friend with the US, your fucking commie bullshit stands in the way of achieving such ideals. The US believes in the work of the individual, success and achievement of hard work from people that seek to make their own destiny. Russia, however, thinks government rules them, and that population and wgim of rulers, know what's best.

So fuck yourselves, faggots. Socialism, communism, are for low achieving, dick riding faggots. Fix your shit and maybe one day we'll rule the world. Until then, kill yourself, faggots.

Yes. He fought for racial inequality.

>I served 3 tours in Afghanistan as a combat medic. I saved some people. I buried more. The image of my friends in coffins, covered by the American Flag, still haunt me.

So you're a cuck.
Congrats.

And my dad is a retired E9 who served 30 years. He's pissed along with any veteran over the age of 30. Really makes you think when you see all these nu-vets not giving a shit. Makes sense, all the old vets went in to serve our country. The new guys went in to serve themselves; get their gib me datz 9/11 GI bill and shiiieeetttt.

Fuck the communist niggers, and pussy white sissies who get ass blasted by em, who are doing this nonsense. They must be stomped out.

Fag alert. Beep beep beep

I lived in one on deployment, this one is in way better shape

...

Reading this makes me physically sick.

Why do people like this make it so hard for me to respect veterans?

It's like 2% of the community, 40% are attention whores, the rest of us are silent professionals with drinking problems that view civilians as lepers and avoid interacting with them.

protecting our values*.

>Protects his country while in the middle of a fucking desert

>I wasted few years of my life jerking off in the green zone and sitting my ass off in MRAP, here's my important opinion on niggerball

why would you respect modern veterans? they fight for money

next time you get in a war with an enemy that can actually harm you, and your soldiers actually defend you from harm, you can feel like respecting those veterans again

larping war vet inbound

Sure, he can kneel in protest. And the NFL can fire him and make sure he never plays football again.

There is no racial inequality, we prop them up and give them everthing they have. Inb4 they commit crime becuase they are poor.
Poor people in the US;
>White-28,990,845
>Black-11,151,845
Who commits more crime?
Someone post the FBI CRIME stats

>Not fapping in a MTVR

millionaire football players protesting racial inequality

>wew lads

I agree, it is their right. But the American flag and OUR national anthem is one of the few things that can/should unite us in this chaotic political climate. Most of us, when placing our hand upon our hearts during our anthem, remember the principles our great country was founded upon. Many of us have/are willing to fight and die for the freedom that our flag represents. It is a terrible mistake to take that sentiment lightly. My grandfather fought in both worlds wars, and my father lost an eye in Vietnam from grenade shrapnel. Not to mention how ptsd fucked my family, generations later.. So yeah, they can kneel all they like, but they seem to forget how many fought and died for them to have that right? Did their families suffer? My family fought, and earned respect. They would be better served with their million- dollar, athlete privilege, as Americans, trying to rebuilt Detroit, solving their social/economic problems and changing legislation. How about instead of kneeling, y'all create some opportunities and genuinely try to heal your communities before you start calling everyone nazis ( I personally am highly offended by that, aren't you?). Enough is enough already.

>Emotional Appeal as a Replacement for Argument: One Anons Story

...

The problem user is that the whole narative behind it isnt pure.

I'm pretty sure equality is not part of the constitution, you lying faggot.

Jesus, are you faggots still talking about niggerball? Who the fuck cares, go play sports on your own instead of watching those apes between advertisements

This is about the resentment that blacks feel for whites, justice is about making whites suffer

>as Americans
so cucked
The nigger tells you he is BLACK not American, and you tell him he's wrong

>REEEE stop protesting like that I don't like it!!!

How?

They are incapable of doing anything against the US.

Or is a part of your values to get hopped up on drugs after you restart the opium trade in afghanistan?

There is no greater disrespect for the flag and our national values then making this man president.

You guys chose him precisely because he horrified half the country. Burning a flag is nothing compared to this.

I served tables a few summers when I was a teenager

(((nice try)))

yes the NFL players can kneel if they want, no one is doxxing them and firing them...

People are just expressing their displeasure with their message.

Remember its just people showing you the door, its not violating your free speech (someone link that smarmy comic all the lefties were posting after doxing and firing all the tiki torch people/google memo guy)

>I researched what he stood for, and why he knelt.
Well apparently you didnt research hard enough. Kaepernick is a pseudo black panther, who stands for the bullshit lies of BLM and their ilk. People who prop up the deaths of literal criminals as "proof" of police brutality and consistently show their true nature through rioting and calling for the deaths of innocents whether it be cops or the oppressive white people they so deeply despise. In reality, theyre far more racist then any treatment they receive in their democratic sanctuary zoo's run by african american police chiefs and politicians whom them consistently vote for.

>And I decided that even if I didn't like it, I would never complain about him protesting. It is his right. It is everyone's right. Stand or kneel, I don't care.
The same right is afforded to those that choose to disagree with his stance, and his approach to kneeling during the anthem. No one is saying its against the law, but those who kneel during the anthem are open to criticism, as are their ideas. That is the true expression of freedom of speech.

The cognitive dissonance never ceases to amaze me

cuckservatives be like

>leftists are so triggered and can't handle free speech or ideas that offend them

*black guys kneels during le freedom display*

>HOLY SHIT HOW COULD YOU DARE??? TOTALLY OFF LIMITS WTF I'M TRYING TO WATCH HANDEGG BUT NOW YOU'RE EYERAPING ME BOYCOTT BOYCOTT PLEASE TRUMP FIRE THEM

Afghanistan was a far more relevant war then Iraq. Even Iran and Russia can agree to that. The terror cells were spread all throughout that region and into pakistan.

PC on steroids

Did any of you're family ever serve in the military??? Didn't think so. You can kindly fuck right off then.

>projecting* our values
>(onto other people)
>(whether they like it or not)

Ftfy mate.

>I researched what he stood for, and why he knelt
you haven't researched enough Chayyim

the right doesn't think they are politically correct but they are just blind to themselves. they are old fashion hardcore PC.

the original PC crowd

Sure, when your dad losses an eye for freedom, come back and feel free to complain about your angst to me , sepai.

(OP) #
its not that someone is "protesting"
it's that people who are given more than they deserve from whites, spit in the face and seek to destroy whites, for nothing other than their own selfish ego.
but even worse, they arent man enough to admit it, they play the victim, and slander true victims.
it's like a terrorist pretending to be a doctor who has been injured, waves the white flag to surrender, and when he gets to your hospital, starts killing everyone.

that aint a protest, it's a war crime. and it's going on in america right now.

Thanks for your service I think people are not really piss off at the kneeling, but pushing Marxist agenda in football. The republicans see it as the NFL is taking a side. Everything these days is polarize and the whole disrespecting the military is to rally their side while the Left is pushing Black inequalities.

It may seem to be picking at nits but let's differentiate between "Rights" and "Liberties".

A Liberty is something granted by God himself that no one can stop you from exercising. They can makes laws against it and punish you but they can not stop you. Our Constitution provides protection for us to enjoy a number of Liberties free from gummint encroachment, such as privacy in our possessions, bearing arms, etc.

A Right is a freedom that gummint has to act to provide. Voting for instance.

These NFL players HAVE the Liberty to protest but the owners HAVE the Right to fire them if they choose and THE LAW can prosecute them as there are laws against what they are doing.

We need to be clear about what the hell is going on here to understand it.

I am the wife of a veteran and you are full of shit.

triggered.
there it is folks.
patriotism, gender, law constitution. they are easily just a PC as the left. maybe more so

>protect the children... Nope
>stop the terrorists... Nope
>support the troops or you're anti American... Yes!

Fuck off, salaried neocon shill

Yes, it actually IS against the law to show disrespect to the flag. It may not be prosecuted as DAs have prosecutorial discretion but it IS against the law.

family values
marxism
religion
they think they own these

>Thanks for your service
I.e. Thanks for fucking up the middle east for unconstitutional reasons .

Every imbecile that regurgitates this shit doesn't deserve the freedom they have.

Which are? Transfats in my food & Pawn Stars 24/7 on my tv?

So just to be clear, and honest, if I tell impressionable people that during your time in combat you deliberately murdered innocent children, and that the only way to stop you from killing more is to kill you (which is what Kaepernick is actually doing), you're okay with that?
Are you aware of cops being killed as a result of this blood libel? Are you aware that the people championed by BLM to a man are actually violent thugs? Or are you a lying propagandist with obvious English 210 prose and a vague introduction to Sup Forums?

my fellow white people ...I.....

Truth be told, I am a Silicon Valley native, and a former life- long democrat. My first vote was for Bill, so you can bet your ass im triggered! In fucking pissed at the level of betrayal the democratic party had shown me. That is precisely why many of us registered as independents and voted for Trump. It was a grand " Fuck you" to the establishment , and people like you, who are trying to abolish everyone who disagrees with you, first amendment rights? Your seriously miscalculation is not lost on us. Those of us who were largely silent, will now fight, to the death if need be, on principle alone. You are doomed to suffer the consequences of you actions. Sad, but true. Y'all picked the wrong fight.

>combat medic
Glorified nurse. POG faggots have no right to speak for anybody.

Where can i play a pinball machine like this

You died in Afghanistan for the jew to get richer, not to protect your country amerifat.

Kill yourself you 68W faggot.

Just because you hand out happy pills and slap on the quick clot doesn't make you a hero.

You will never be a grunt, now go back to being an EMT for 8/HR.
