The American flag is a symbol of American values, and the freedom of expression is the very FIRST Amendment of the United States Constitution. As a former United States Marine I can say for a fact that the Marines who died for this country didn’t die for either a piece of cloth, a song, or the opinion of a cowardly draft dodger like Trump. They died for what that beautiful piece of cloth represents - the right for Colin Kaepernick to do exactly what he’s doing. Without that right both the American flag, and the National Anthem, would be totally meaningless. It takes a complete idiot not to see that.
