"If you disrespect the flag and the nation’s military you’re in trouble". A politically alienated American here: let's not forget that Donald Trump said that one of our leading generals should be executed, insulted a gold star family (at least once), disparaged John McCain because he was caught during the Vietnam, purportedly said that he didn't want soldiers injured in war to be near him in public events because it made him look bad, etc. The point is not a pile up on Trump - one could find plenty of examples on the left disparaging the military - but merely to note that if the leader of the Republican party, a party that is a long been the pro military wing of American political life, can say such things, the reality on the ground in America is much more complex then what is implied in the court above.
