Very low class move by some Clemson fans today….


Oct 20, 2012, 8:02 PM

During the induction of some new members into the military, that they normally do on Military appreciation day, a number of fans booed during the last part of the induction that states that you must follow the President's orders. I don't care what your opinion is on whoever is President, that was a very low class move and disrespect towards those young men and women who were being inducted. You can't claim you're patriotic and appreciate the Military, then boo apart of a Military Induction, just because you can't filter your politics for 5 seconds. That was pretty much the most lowest class move I have ever seen out of Clemson fans. Now you can put down or try to argue with me about it, but point blank it was disrespectful to those young man and woman being inducted.

Reply however you want to reply, but I have said my piece on this and won't say nothing more on this subject.

The whole point of the enlistment ceremony is that the new soldiers are swearing to follow the orders of the commander in chief, whoever it is. If you want to boo that, go ahead, but I think it's shameful.

Frankly, there is too much booing at Clemson football games period. I was bothered that most fans seemed to prefer to focus on booing VT when they entered the stadium even though the tigers were at the top of the hill getting ready to run down.

Actually in the military you are required to follow ALL LAWFUL ORDERS . And that starts from the President of the United States all the way down to the person more senior to you. With that being said noone at the game should have booed that part of the ceremony as it is not about the current president but the fact there young people have made a decision to serve this country in a branch of the military. And yes I can speak on this as I am still serving this country for over 21 years. I joined under former President Bush and have served under former Presidents Clinton, G.W. Bush and now President Obama. It is the office of President I serve not the person.

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: IMHO


Oct 21, 2012, 9:51 PM

As a person who did not serve, perhaps I am just not educated on the topic, but to me the inclusion in the oath would be to affirm that the president is the commander in chief of the military. Whether we like him as a person or like his politics or not, his position is that of a commander elected by the people, not selected by the military itself. That is one thing that seems to be uniquely American and while it has caused us troubles, it also has served us well (MacArthur?). But I think it best to not include the ceremony again next year. On the other hand we do have freedom of speech and expression and the guys and gals taking the oath are the ultimate ones who protect that right for us all, including those who have no couth or just pick the wrong venue to express frustration.

Textiger, one difference between someone booing when the president is physically present (which I agree is classless no matter what your political beliefs) and when the office of the president is mentioned is that when you boo the latter, you're booing the institution and what it stands for separate from who actually occupies the Oval Office at the moment.

I agree.

George Washington warned us about partisan politics, everyone seems to forget that while making patriotic quotes that fit their particular views.

It's like those "Not My President" bumper stickers. I don't care who the President of the United States is(as long as he was elected legally), he is still the President of the United States and if he isn't your President then you aren't a U.S. Citizen or you need to renounce your citizenship. Until then he is your President.

I invite anyone who booed or disliked your post to do the same.

I support neither political party and which one I lead towards is irrelevant as I saw those bumper stickers before Obama. I saw the same attitude while George W. Bush was the President of the United States and feel they should do the same.

I feel that when we boo the President - Democrat or Republican - you are booing, not only the individual, but the office that has been held by outstanding individuals.

First I am a veteran and current federal civil servant and fully understand the situation. I did not hear any boos but they certainly may have happened. At the same time I don't recall ever hearing the dramatic pause after the word "President" like I heard today (note this was NOT so those taking the oath could repeat). I immediately thought "why did he pause there, that isn't where the pause is supposed to be (in fact me immediate thought was the BG must like the Pres). The pause was almost an invitation for a response by the fans and apparently some did.

It is what it is but if that upset any of those guy then they are in trouble once they start their military service.

Please show respect next year to those young men and women who are taking a vow to protect your booing behinds.

This error in judgement falls on the organizers...

..not the crowd (mob).

It's unfair to the enlistees to take a military proceeding and conduct it in such an open forum and expect reverence and respect.

Those "future heroes" should not have even had the chance to be subjected to the potential disgrace of their oath.

It's still America. People have the right to voice their opinion Unfortunately, regardless of setting. We can debate and judge each others moral compass all we want. It won't change the fact that this was the wrong audience for such an important life decision for those military inductees.

Actually I will totally disagree that it was the wrong audience for this ceremony. Our young men and women who make the choice to serve this country should have it in an open forum for all to see. While I understand not everyone in this country while like/agree with how the sitting President may act or perform, people should take a moment to think about their own personal actions. Protest the President all you want (no matter who it is) because that is a freedom we members of the military protect and will protect willingly. That is just one of many freedoms a citizen of this country enjoys. So to dishonor a ceremony that is celebrating the choice of young men and women to serve this country just because you do not approve of the current President is just plain inappropriate and not the right time for such objections.
And by all means feel free to TD or post a negative response all you want. I will still wake up, put on my uniform and support this country and your right to do so until such time as I retire from my service.

Mother-in-Law used to tell us about raising children. If you put them in a situation where they might misbehave, they will probably do so.

I agree this is not the proper place for an induction ceremony. Hopefully Mr. Seketa will realize this and not do it again.

We agree in my house


Oct 21, 2012, 7:24 AM

I don't care what you think of the president, to boo at a military induction because of ANYTHING should be a crime. The first thing my wife said was, "Wow! And we talk about the coots being low class? Wow." I was embarrassed by our fans and I never thought I'd have to say that.

I just found it ironic that they said "I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America" and obey orders from the POTUS? Obama has completely violated the Constitution ever since he has been in office..

On a side note, I didn't even hear any boos.

Even the newspaper mentioned the booing this morning, so if you didn't hear it you probably weren't paying that much attention.

I suspect alcohol had something to do with people's lack of discretion and inability to respect the office of the Presidency, but it's no excuse. Shame on those who booed for trying to disrupt and ruin an enlistment ceremony, no matter who the President is.
