Embedded in the above tweet is letter that former US Navy admiral and current chancellor of the University of Texas Bill McRaven wrote to school administrators and athletic directors urging them to remind teams not to exercise their constitutionally protected rights to free speech. In so doing, he paints a lovely picture of an America where servicemen like him helped "eliminate bigotry, racism, sexism, imperialism, communism, and terrorism." And you know who was riding shotgun the whole time? The American flag.Chancellor McRaven: "The nation and everything it strives for is embodied in the American Flag". Well said. pic.twitter.com/fixOYdZFCQ
