Just so I am clear on your post, Kap knealt to show is respect for the flag and the country, not to protest it? Does he know that was his intent? Or are we trying to say that an action taken in one context and for one intent and applying it to an action applied in a completely different context for a completely different intent so that it looks better...."lipstick on a pig"?
