An open letter to Colin Kaepernick, from a Green Beret-turned-long snapper Nate Boyer.
I'd hate to simply post snippets of the letter, as it should be read in its entirety. It is a good read from a unique perspective. https://www.armytimes.com/articles/nate-boyer-colin-kaepernick-commentary-flag-national-anthem-protest-nfl

Folks seem more focused on the act, than they do on the reason why. Mr. Boyer is truly a class act.
