Blue Lives Matter flag is 'racist'

Okay I sound like a jerk for saying this but the military and police obviously deserve respect, but it's their choice to fight and do what they do and I don't see why people stand and salute them - it's their choice to fight if you see what I'm saying. We didn't make them.

Because they have the courage to do what is required for their jobs and risk their life daily to keep everyone else safe.

They deserve the respect because it's not easy to go through difficult training, (possibly) go into combat, (possibly) see their pals die in war, (possibly) even get killed themselves. There are no jobs where in civilian life where you basically know someone might die. That's why they deserve massive respect. You're right, we didn't make them. But they chose to do it to either straighten their own lives out in some cases or be a patriot and defend their country. That's respectable imo.
