Take a Knee

 I received an email today from the Epoch Times, a conservative news outlet with a reputation for accuracy in their reporting, unlike fake news outlets, and the feature article in this email was the controversy between the U.S. Marines and Tucker Carlson, popular Fox News host.

Here's the link to the article:

Marine Corps Account Says It ‘Messed Up’ in Response to Fox’s Carlson

This article refers to an apology in tweets from the Marine Corps which included this statement:

"We can do better and we will collectively take a knee, review our procedures and get back in the fight."

Did you catch that? The Marines will collectively take a knee to demonstrate their understanding that they screwed up in their response to the conservative perspective related to their new policies.

So either this redefines what taking a knee means in this modern age or they demonstrated how insensitive they are or they slapped conservatives in the face while mockingly apologizing. Which is it? Because in this age people "take a knee" to demonstrate against the American National Anthem, THE symbol in music for belief in America and its defense.
