Sweat fell off my face, my feet tense in every step, my hand clenched the cloth, and I began to adjust the world. I concentrated on spitting out my colleagues' mouth in the hot weather of August. Then when my combat boots hit the ground, I concentrated on each step. "Left, left, left, left, left" mission is clear, preparation is indeed. We will continue the perfect rhythm. "Left ... left ... left. Right." We turned to the left suddenly and headed for the sky's flagpole. You will notice when all the bones in my body freeze.
First, please disclose. I am not an American. I acknowledge that there is a very strong cultural aspect in the worship of the national flag, the national anthem, and the huge citizen religion "to support the military." For me, the overall idea of playing the national anthem before the game between the two cities in the United States is meaningless. Before the bilateral games, other countries of the world will play the national anthem. This means that everyone crouching does not love their country. They do not think "I want to respect the people who live for everyday". Trumpist and all life materialists have been whipping: Your protest emphasizes that some people may not work and makes me very uncomfortable. all
But we live in a culture where there are people who worship and fight flags and national anthems. So what is the best way to express honor, respect, and awe? This can be answered directly, agreement with the flag / national anthem Etiquette. But let's see this question before we accept it ... for all physically fit people it will last forever. Ironically, it makes it possible to focus freely on the performance of the national anthem. Red, white and blue are blown in the wind, people can protest against the flag in this way. Briefly, we do not live in Communist China, if they choose, everyone has the right to stand, kneel, sit down or roll.
