I kept trying to think of something to say to go with #VeteransForKaepernick, but it was hard to get into a tweet.

I don’t really care for the national anthem or the pledge. I don’t like traditions for the sake of traditions and I don’t care for reciting things just because everyone else does. They don’t prove anything. I see too many people recite the pledge and do nothing that shows to me they understand what they recited.

Plus, I don’t really care for pledging an allegiance to a flag.
