Taking a Knee During Taps at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
Moonbattery ^ | September 28, 2017 | Moonbattery

Black Lives Matter types demand that we show them respect, without offering any indication of what they might have done to deserve it. This is the respect they show American society in return: kneeling-taps

The scene is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, during taps.

Anyone who thinks it doesn’t matter how the diamond-encrusted Neanderthals of the NFL behave while the national anthem is performed must not have seen this picture. The rot that started with Colin Kaepernick is spreading fast.

On a tip from TheChaoticStorm.

Probably not really covered in the rule book, they might have thought he was having physical problems or they didn’t really notice him. They’re not policemen, they’re ceremonial guards at a cemetery.

So a thug took the trouble to go to Arlington to do THAT?
Wow, way over the line. He must be proud of himself.
And disrespect to the Sentinels there, including the African American ones.

Few respect our constitutional rights more than military and former military. They are not thugs, unlike those who would insult our country and our flag.

Kneeler at Tomb of the Unknown Soldier: "What's this? Seems like rain but there's no clouds."

Guard: That's urine collected from Unknown Soldiers.

Maybe they thought he was praying? People pray there all the time.

People used to have fad dances, like the Twist, Hand Jives, Jitterbug and the Lindyhop. They used to run around naked in public and have toga parties. Now they have this new fad of kneeling in front of flags, tombs, while singing the Star Spangled Banner. It’ll pass, but it sure is a stupid thing to have as a fad. What next, jerking off in houses of worship in the front pew, during services? Shhh. Don’t give them ideas.

To tell him to stand up while taps is playing is to break the rules regarding the playing of taps - and to show disrespect for fallen comrades in their own personal actions. It’s a darned-if-you-do, darned-if-you-don’t situation.

Just my $.02 (Former Captain)

The thugopolis of Baltimore BLM's secondary capitol is just a short hop to Arlington, 40 miles or so.

This bunch are slime. I don’t bother with slime. I ignore slime. You cannot change slime. You simply pour Clorox on it. I don’t watch the NFL anymore. I deleted the NFL channel from my DirecTV guide. I don’t watch ESPN either. I can do without these stupid ass slime balls. So, I ignore them. No use making an ulcer in your stomach. That’s how I deal with them. I certainly cannot beat them over the head with a ball bat, so I ignore them.

The soldier will have rules regarding conduct.

However, if (if) some interested other parties just happened to be nearby and if (if) they were “offended” by the kneeler, methinks the soldier, doing his duties, would not be able to look aside and notice the nearby folks beating the shi...er...Obamastuff out of the offending buttwipe.

Just thinkin’, of course.

Do not make the mistake of thinking they are only ceremonial guards. They are INFANTRYMEN, many have additional training including Ranger, Special Forces, Airborne etc. Quite a few have seen combat. Believe me, if called upon, they can dish it out.

Neanderthals, noble progenitors of Vikings and Celts, should not be used as a way to reference BLM thugs.

“...Black Lives Matter types demand that we show them respect,..”

The only “respect” they get from me is a “GFYourself”. If they hate my Country so much they can GTFO.

Either voluntarily or otherwise.
