Why should others, stand for your anthem - especially if their soliders are fighting the same war?

When I was in America I stood out of fear. It's not my anthem, not my country, but the number of death threats I got the one time I didn't stand scared the fark out of me. Jingoism gone stupid.

because you would expect Americans to stand for YOURS if we were in your country. its a simple respect issue.

and FTR, yes we do respect other nationalities' anthems during public events in their country

You either stand or someone will make you stand, which way do you want it.

If it is not your anthem, I don't give a $hit if you stand or not, this is not your country and I invite you to Fn leave.

ALL of our soldiers do stand and salute the flag at anthem. If they pulled that kneeling craap, they would get a court-martial.offense and dishonorable discharge.

I am only responsible for me. I stand for the anthems of other nations, Always.
