Trump rendered a military salute during the National Anthem at yesterday's game. It pisses me off.

I have reconciled myself to Presidents returning a military salute when boarding or departing Air Force One or Marine One. I don't like it but Presidents of both parties have been doing it for years and the salute by military aircrews seems to require some response.

However, it pisses me off to see a draft dodging, non-veteran, civilian who thinks those of us who have served are suckers and losers render a military salute.

His phony saluting, flag play and desecration of our military, does not diminish your service or anyone else's. That can not be taken away from you. He can not steal honor. He is a weak joke of person.
