Yeah, that's the point I was trying to get across. Unless you're just going "...Ok, I don't get it, but smile and nod." XD
It's just, I can't say "I respect servicemembers for serving," because that's just too damn general and, well, again, I can't respect someone who commits murder or rape, it pretty much nullifies what else they've done in my eyes. That's the point I'm trying to get at. So, I have to look at it at a case-by-case basis for respect, and even then, respect does not ensure I can just let someone say something that I disagree without saying something myself about the topic itself.
Hell, BECAUSE I respect them, I will be open about my disagreement, because I respect them to not just condescend them by nodding and pretending like I agree.
