Off topic but it’s military so on topic.

Gfs son is in the band at school. Tuesday they did Veterans Day thing after hours .. with band playing. Fire works. Etc

1. The event did not lead with the national anthem. ( which pissed me off ) they did like 4 other songs

2. Girl comes up sings the National anthem eventually. I notice the middle school band is sitting im like wtf

Apparently the band director SPECIFICALLY told the kids do NOT stand for the national anthem.


Needless to say I have a meeting with the director tomorrow

Please let us know how your meeting with the band director goes!

Spoke to counselor this morning.

“ I guess it was his choice, so the band students didn’t put their band equipment in the grass “

Me: umm they can hold it while they stand

Counselor: I mean.. yeah. But it was his choice. We’d prefer to speak to him so you don’t have to.

Hmmmm. Typical bullshit, political speak, non-sense I've had the pleasure of running into. They put people in positions to make the tough decisions, but when that decision isn't what people want they throw a fit. So, the person in charge realizes that they can't really do a ****ing thing and either move on or linger in lame-duck land for the rest of their administrative career. There are some that promote stupid ass agendas though. No surprise there.
I forget where I first heard this, but it was back in the 90s. Someone said to me "enjoy it now. The Pussification of America has just begun and we are ****ed". Guess they were right.
Funny how almost all of us men have multiple stories about disagreements with friends that lead to an actual fight. You know, fists hitting faces and such? Then, as if by ****ing magic, we would laugh, shake hands, and realize that our bullshit was just that. Our issue would end there. Of course, this was back in the 20th century....haha

I told the boy. Moving forward if you hear the national anthem you ****ing stand. I don’t give a ****. If the director has a problem with it, I will talk to him in front of the crowd.

The boy wanted to stand. But he’s not the alpha type unfortunately ( trying to teach him )

Now THAT'S what you call a typical B.S. explanation/excuse. If more parents would call this crap out, we'd see less. The next two years are going to be interesting.

Look how well that macho man shit worked for the Russians.

Taliban and Jihadists all called us sissies for wearing sunglasses and body armour, crying about A/C and rations, etc. Real men don't need NODS.

Reality is, the future will be won by the wallet as war becomes more and more like a video game.

Fun story, my father is a retired Marine Col., did basic in '73. Corps was still full of WW2 and Korea vets who thought all the new blood (Boomers) we're pussies and sissies. Hell, in ~'71 they even pass regulations that instructors could no longer lay hands on candidates.... Like, what in the actual ****? How do you build good Marines if you can't punch and kick them!!? (Oh, that's right, scream "Right Shoulder, Arms!" Then walk up and smack the rifle as hard as you can into their head and proceed to scream about failing to stand correctly)

My cousin's husband... Is an Iraq Vet and was DI and absolutely loved it. Dude could ****ing run and that was his jam. Run them to death. Also had 5 uniforms to change throughout the day so he was just magically perfect and smiling at all times.

I wanted to be like.. “ it’s a ****ing clarinet … the tuba sits on the ground anyway. They can ****ing hold it “

But I’ve learned .. going against a school is a real quick way to end up on a list
