CNN is the modern Onion....only brainwashed liberals believe anything CNN says... except this piece is not what "CNN said", but what an actual military vet did and his interaction with Colin Kaepernick. Well, now that you mention it, do you believe Trump was wrong in criticizing John McCain as "not a hero"? Yes. I feel as a President, it is destructive and irresponsible to speak of a vet that way when speaking of their military service. I feel, unlike a professional athlete, he LITERALLY has a responsibility to our military men and women. maybe nothing at all, but if one is taking a 'loyalty to all vets' approach of condemning the kneeling of someone during an anthem, I expect more respect for their service, whether they have been captured or not, ESPECIALLY from someone elected commander in chief. well, half right. I dont think all vets are heroes, and I take no public stance pretending I do. I take no public stance suggesting how others should react to all vets or what customs they should adopt in doing so. I also dont believe K's protest had ANYTHING to do with vets, since it was a vet that suggested he kneel in the first place. ... but thats another issue. its not the uniform you wear, and get PAID to wear, its what you do without that uniform that warrants a 'hero' label as far as Im concerned. people in uniforms are still flawed humans, and it is their individual actions that merit the term 'hero', imho, not merely the fact that they do a job they are paid to do. double post . |

He was a VET. And if one COMMANDER IN CHIEF of the military, it is rather hypocritical to BLATANTLY and DIRECTLY insult a vet, while proclaiming that someone who works as an ATHLETE should lose their job over an action that you ASSUME disrespects vets. hypocrisy: the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense. |

What did Colin lie about? What did Trump lie about? Who cares? the point is hypocrisy. He shows one standard for how his offensive WORDS should be treated as POTUS and COMMANDER IN CHIEF of the military, compared to how a perceived offensive GESTURE from an athlete should be treated. that is textbook hypocrisy. |

Shoot, Trump lies about everything else, from his inauguration crowd size to "all those executive orders Obama signed that were unconstitutional", he could not have at least paid tribute to a man who has had almost 50 years in public service? McCain did more good work for this country than Trump could even imagine doing. Even though I was not always on his side of the issue, I would take one hard-working McCain over 100 phony Trumps |
