Simple, the me generation is all about me. If you've trained for something for years the fact that you may not agree with policy and rules does not overcome the acclaim that will come to ME!

Exactly, and its not someone expressing a different opinion I object to but when You ar representing our country that is NEVER a proper forum for doing that. There are plenty of other forums they can display that disgusting behavior.

SMSgt Lawrence McCarter That there are. Think of all the times you've been told to watch your behavior because you represent this country before you go off base in uniform, same concept.

A very good question, You have the honor to represent Your country on the world stage and then show less respect for Your own country than athletes from other countries do or would even consider doing ? The conduct of some of the American Athletes is disgraceful and they dishonor themselves as well as our nation. I agree 100% with what Herschel Walker had to say on the subject and He represents the view of most of us that do take pride in our nation. Whatever problems He may have had in His life He is well aware of what is and is not proper respect for the nation these athletes have to honor to represent. There is some conduct that isn't acceptable at all and certainly NOT on the International Scene where they can't even display proper respect for the very nation they are there to represent ! If they can't behave themselves they should NOT even be allowed the honor or representing our nation at the Olympics.

Capt Gregory Prickett - OK, they have Freedom of speech and the right to speak but its still very poor behavior in my opinion as well a many others and still shows very little respect or good judgement in My view. I'm all for freedom of speech but some discretion and what to say and where it's apparent doesn't bother them. I can't control or am likely to end their ignorant speech, only they can do that am it appears they won't. This is one time I'm glad the other country won that event and NEVER have I had that view before, well they had their free speech !
