i do appreciate your service to our great country.for that I salute you.im neither racist nor am I homophobic..but I do have a problem when someone infringes on my rights my wife and child should be able to go to a public bathroom and not have to worry about someone from the opposite sex entering that bathroom.and it is disrespectful too you and my father who also fought in the military.to not stand and acknowledge the national anthem..we all have our thoughts but not standing is only bringing attention to the lone person who is doing so..we are only having this conversation..because he is doing so..and more people disagree with him than approve..and its only making the situation worse..not better hell even ray lewis doesnt agree..and again I have the utmost respect for everyone who has fought and died for this country..
