Duckworth on NFL anthem policy: I fought to defend right to take a knee in protest

"She fought for an ideal, as did all our troops". What branch were you in? I did eight years in the Marine Corps, and last time I checked, never has the government used the military as a tool of free speech and the right to protests. That has always been a war the citizenry fought against the government, where government agents actively fought to suppress. Are you aware of the Kent Campus shootings of unarmed protesters? Or how about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UC_Davis_pepper_spray_incident

You will get thumbs ups here for your brain dead comment, but the truth and history are not on your side. Try again. It is the CITIZENS that have fought for free speech and the right to protests against the government who has used its agents to oppose it.
