He said that not standing for it was disrespectful to those who fought and sacrificed for this country. Except, didn't they do so for our freedom? Freedom of choice, speech, expression? Because if we are uniformly bound to saluting the flag because of their sacrifice, didn't their sacrifice basically eliminate a certain freedom? I know, these things make more sense if you put your brain on a shelf. <br /><br />(Also, isn't mandatory anthem standing a little fascist sounding? Sorry.) <br /><br />Sweet freedom!
