Germany: American soldiers saluting Trace Adkins
Asked about the flag, Adkins said he noted he’s a descendant of Confederate soldiers and says he did not intend offense by wearing it.
This made me wonder WHERE Mr. Adkins would wear such a symbol. Recently the singer entertained American troops at Ramsdell base in Germany. Did he wear the stars and bars then?
As far as I know Mr. Adkins is not of German ancestry but if he were would that have led him to wear a swastika in Germany?
One furious viewer tweeted, “I did like Trace Adkins until I saw the Confederate flag ear piece in his ear.”
Another said it was, “Absolutely disgusting, this is 2012!!”
And, “Someone tell Trace Adkins the South lost.”
