He called it as he saw it, but he also helped set the thing up in the first place. I have conflicting feelings about Ike. It's like he turned a wild animal loose in his house before selling it, but he had the courtesy to tell the new owners at closing that they better watch out.I know. It’s a terrible thing when a man has a conscience and calls things as he sees them.
He was there at it’s inception, when it was created out of necessity. Then I think he had the foresight to see the potential harm.He called it as he saw it, but he also helped set the thing up in the first place. I have conflicting feelings about Ike.

It is politicization. From the founding and until the early 20th century, most Americans were wary of centralized power and didn’t sing anthems or make pledges to flags. They just wanted to live life without interference. The phenomenon of anthems and pledges was propaganda to get young males to enlist and support the WW1 war effort, an endeavor that we had no business in.Considering playing the national anthem is politicization is the point.
Let's go back to the beginning... he didn't interject this. He was asked by the media and answered a question. After his answer was given, the right wing snowflakes gave it life by burning jerseys and virtue signaling about how patriotic they were. They gave Kaepernick his attention.I dont, but think it foolish as it has interjected politics into something that should not be political, which is my point. And many are in their right to say eff em.
Ike probably never imagined how the media would become a key player in fueling the war machine.This man tried to tell us...
