Put him up on a pedestal, blathering about how he didn't die for his country so guys like Kaepernick could disrespect the flag, blah, blah, blah. Apparently, that dipshit doesn't understand that Pat Tillman would have likely been down on his knee next to Kaepernick. They are so fucking clueless.

Doesn't matter what came before. That's not dying for your country.

The put him up as someone who went to serve his country at war, rather than playing football, while insinuating that he would have disapproved of these players taking a knee. Knowing what we all know about Tillman, he would probably be right there with them. The Trump cultists do not understand that he was an atheist and a liberal.

Besides, it doesn't really matter whether he was killed by enemy or friendly fire. He died serving his country. That's why he joined.
