I see an awful lot of self proclaimed "more patriotic than you!" crowd on tv, in elected offices, in the streets, all over claiming such astral levels of patriotism and also claiming to speak for all military veterans.  Well, I'm an Army vet and they don't speak for me.  I'm not offended in the slightest by the kneeling.  I see worse than than on a daily basis just on my commute to and from work.  I find it interesting that none of you self-proclaimed highly patriotic types aren't vocal about any of the offenses to our flag right in front of you.  "Selective Patriotism" is more prevalent than actual patriotism.  And to those "experts" who've never even been in the military, go home, pipe down and mind your own issues.  Leave the right to free speech to those who can handle such freedom.
