Pio,I'm not a huge fan of mandatory public patriotic loyalty rituals as a retired Army vet, unless I'm there specifically for that reason. Case in point, the Captain Dan wounded warrior charity events get my respect. Expecting a loyalty oath to attend a sporting event, not so much. I never had to worry about getting home after an encounter with the gendarmes, and I don't judge those that do for reminding the rest of us that doesn't happen for everyone.
I overlooked your post at the outset of this thread. Well said and I concur, and thank you for your service.
