NORFOLK, Va. -- The Navy’s newest and sleekest destroyer pulled into Naval Station Norfolk, making an historic first transit into the Chesapeake Bay and through the Hampton Roads waterways to the Norfolk Naval Base at about 9 am EST.
Built in Bath, Maine, the first of a three-ship class of stealthy warships, the Zumwalt is slated to be commissioned in Baltimore on Oct. 15 and, once officially in the fleet, will ultimately leave the East Coast for its homeport of San Diego, CA.
Interesting..no one liked my statement to the SF 49ers quarterback..interesting. thats ok...in case anyone was wondering I do not support the SF 49ers QB. His protest actions while lawful are reprehensible.
I'll be out of the forum until Friday evening or Saturday morning. I'm going on a short road trip.

Where did yu post it?
I agree 100% with you.
The guy has the right to freeom of speech...but he also has the right to make an ass of hiself and IMHO, that is exactly what he is doing.
That flag represents the hundreds of thousands...no, millions all told...who have died to give him the rights he has.
The National Anthem is about the FLag and the people who fought to found the US and the liberties it represents.
Has the country made mistakes?
Yes...of course. So have everyone of us. But the people who have fought and died honoring what that flag rpresents and what the anthem represents are the very thing that allowed this young man to play football and become rich at it.
I do not see him giving the money back. I do not see him stopping playing football and leaving the country under protest.
Seems to me like he wants it both ways...and is more abut getting hiself noticed than anything else.
I even went further. I wrote the NFL and told them I would not be tuning in to any NFL games until they made a statement in support for the anthem and the flag, and the need for the players to respect it during the national anthen, even if they have disagreements with some things going on.
Don;t take it out on the anthem and the flag which are two things we an all unite behind.
Anyhow...that's what I am going to do.
End OT.
Equation
Lieutenant General
Kapernick wasn't against these men and women in uniforms as he had stated before, that's why he took the knee during the national anthem instead of just sitting down as he had once before. He rather is taking a stand against oppression of bad law enforcement officers killing many innocent African Americans and getting little justice out of it. THAT'S the main issue, NOT about the flag or the country. We all just can't become tools and just become blind patriotism and obey whatever the power at be tell us to. That's the main issue, NOT the flag. Too many people get lost and confuse in these arguments and I just wanted to clarify that and I have no problem of anyone's opinion about Mr. Kapernick's action. Life is way bigger than that....next!
