But just out of curiosity, how would you react if you saw someone you know to be a veteran act that way? Would their indignation make it ok? Let's assume the seated guy wasn't doing so out of religious conviction or as an act of protest but was just too lazy or indifferent to stand. Would something that is technically assault and battery be justified because a vet felt disrespected?

To clarify, are you asking me if I think it's ok for a veteran to assault and batter someone for not standing up for the pledge??

Yes, assuming the person who doesn't stand isn't doing so out of some religious conviction or as a form of protest. I'm trying to gauge where the line is when it comes to socially coerced shows of "patriotic respect".
