    From the responses by the Newspaper, CBN columnist and the student vets their decision caused more distraction that the 21 gun salute would have. Freedom ain't free and the snowflakes should be reminded of this often. Bob

    This paragraph from the referenced article says it all:

    ?It also, ironically, sends an unfortunate message about students: That they are too fragile, too delicate, too distractible to deal with the ?interruption? of the salute. That they are too insular, too wrapped up in their own worlds to comprehend and accept this longstanding practice. That they must be protected from the reality that exists outside academia.?

    The South haters are the lowest scum of the earth. Trump blew it Bigly when he said good people were on both sides at General Lee's monument in Charlottesville.
    What's next?

    I work with a large group of young men and a few women in this age group as volunteer firefighters . Trust me they hate this crap as much as we do . There are a lot more of them out there than folks think . They just don?t get the publicity that the snowflakes do . Kind of like these tat don?t know to squat or stand to pee . To hear the news there are multi millions of them out there and they are the majority . Truth is they make up less than 1% of the population in that age range . Take heart guys , they are on our side

    Frankly, I am glad Veteran's Day comes only once a year.

    The half-hearted and meaningless recitations of 'Thank you for your service' from folks who have not given 10 minutes of thought to veterans over the entirety of the year. The pandering to people simply because some of us made an informed decision somewhere in our past to take a job with a branch of the U.S. Armed Forces.

    But what is worse is the politicizing of the day, and the societal gymnastics that we go through to honor the individuals who have and are participating in the endless wars that most thinking people believe we should exit.

    I could not care less if a University chooses to stop a tradition that has only been around for a decade or so. What I do care about is how we pretend we support those who serve and have served, but continue to support sending them places to kill and to die when we have no business sending them there in the first place.

    I am beginning to wonder if I were more aware in the late 60s, where I would have stood. 'Support our Troops; Bring them Home' makes a hell of a lot of sense to me today. It probably did to a whole lot of patriotic people back then as well.

    100% Kimi.

    The interesting thing about your statement is that many (sadly probably most) in this day and age will not understand what you are saying.

    Concur, provided they don't read the first sentence, Don.

    Hope you and yours are doing well!

    Thanks, kimi.

    Getting ready to move into partial retirement here at the end of the year. Getting a little burnt out, and it is time to move on.

    Hope you too are doing well.

    North haters are the scum of the earth. Trump was right.

    Just a little bigotry balance there. Carry on.

    Thank Nicki Haley for starting the uproar. She just bought some 2.5 million mansion in SC and most likely is in bed with the dems. and a run for the 2024 president.

    Does 2.5 million still buy a mansion in SC, SF?

    How many axles would that be?

    Your assumption has just identified you as a South hater...but who would that surprise?

    A few neo-Nazi leftists do not define the current attitude of millions of Americans who recognize, accept, and even celebrate that which is our history.

    Yes, there were a few bigots standing in support of the statue/memorial to Robert E. Lee; bigots who would judge a person by his skin color.

    On the flip side, it seemed the majority standing in opposition to them exist in a narrow minded bigotry of thought which is intolerant of anything and anyone not marching in lockstep with their view. The bigotry balance existed long before Trump or you stated anything.
