Thank you Mr. Tinsley for your service. 

What has been lost in all of this, is the fact our president escalated the entire issue far above and beyond the REALITY of the matter.

How many NFL players protested the week BEFORE the president went on his rant with SOB references? A grand total of: 6! As in SIX players. 

As the wacko neo-cons so fondly did(and continue to do so) in blaming Obama for "setting the tone" on any emotional charged issue...so did our president on this issue.  But that is what immaturity does...it creates or escalates drama when none is necessary.
