Respectfully BORME73, I understand Mr. Tillman may have felt that Iraq was an illegal war, many including myself have problems with the Iraqi War; but where might I ask did you find that Mr. Tillman supported protesting during the flag and national anthem? The assertion "...he'd likely side with the kneelers..." is way too big a leap to assert in my opinion. I find nothing that would indicate he would support such, especially noting his love of country. Might you point out anything to support that assumption? 


Secondly, Mr. Obama refused to wear the American Flag on his lapel for other reasons, none being because of where it was made. He flip-flopped on that reasoning and later donned the flag, as well as disassociating himself from his pastor, but only once public opinion was found to oppose him. He flip-flopped on a lot issues to get elected. He made many great sound bites, but his words were mere posturing and lacked merit, he was a very weak president on the world stage!
