It gets much FUNNER when young men stop answering the call to serve in the armed forces, because they don’t think the country is worth dying for.

When "president" Xi Dong needs cannon fodder for the next democRat war, he can just sign an executive order (without taking the time to read it) that will start up the draft once again.

Problem solved. /s

On the ships it was 0600. I’m guessing it was the same for you.

How about the Internationale in honor of the owners of the teams ancestors- the founders of Bolshevikism?

I feel exactly the same way! I have quite watching pro sports. Didn’t watch super bowl, hardly had TV on!

The other thing I remember was on the base at the end of the day at 4:30 they would play retreat, followed by the National Anthem.

It was so long ago I can't remember for sure. But my internet search came up with 7:00 a.m.

In basic training it seemed a heck of a lot earlier.........

The reason we sing the national anthem at sporting events is to unify the two sides of the crowd that hate each other’s team.

Deep down, Humans are tribal and stupid and will do dumb things with a crowd.

Idiots don’t understand this and the evil exploit this.

If you’re going to watch these antiAmerican, Chinese stooge millionaires, you have no desire to hear the anthem. Honestly, I’d prefer my national anthem not be desecrated by being played in front of this traitorous scum.

Hey, at this point, given the election aftermath, the flag and the anthem are purely exercises in nostalgia, anyhow.

Openly hating the United States has become very chic and in vogue on the left. At least everyone on the right half of the political spectrum understands at this point that the Dems and the left have declared a Cold War against the nation and regular, everyday Americans.

Don’t know where you served dude, but I served 23 years in the submarine force. Every, repeat, every base I served on the National Anthem was played every morning at 0800. It was played base wide on the base P.A. system. When it came on everything, walking, cars moving, etc. came to a halt, we faced colors and saluted.

If you were never on a ship then you were never in the navy. You were a REMF.
