Backlash from Michael Thomas, among others, forces Drew Brees to clarify comments

I invite all of you to stop and read the 14 pages here. Everyone using different words but sounding the same; everyone wanting to be heard, but no one is listening.

Try continuing without using they or them. This country is divided into two, 'We the People' and 'the government'.

Rez made a point about what is genuine and what isn't. If you have genuine reverence for the flag you don't fly it once it is tattered, you do not fly it in inclement weather... There are 3-4 pages of etiquette and flag code regarding the United States flag that are relatively unknown much less followed by most people yelling "respect the flag".

Calls for respect for the flag feel hollow to this Veteran. They feel more like talking points than an understanding.
