Newt is an historian. He is also a pundit who is paying attention to trends
All due respect, the Anthem honors the Flag, regardless of how and where it has been played.
On any military base at retreat every day the Anthem is played as the Flag is lowered.
All outside activity must stop. Driving, walking whatever. Stops. Anyone on foot faces the Flag. Hand over heart or salute with attention
And the Flag is not the military’s Flag. It is the Nation’s Flag. Anyone disrespecting it disrespects the country.
There’s no getting around that as Newt tries to say here

Are you sure? I’m pretty sure when I was growing up, they played Taps.
You very much stopped your car, got out, and faced the parade field / flag pole, even as a civvy dependent.
The National Anthem is played at 0800 as the flag is raised.
