How to show respect for the American flag

I bet you support the act of burning the flag

Came here to post this.

Same.

Too bad you dont see the speech in flag burning...but think its ok to drape yourself in a flag, or use a napkin or paper plate color like the flag. Try to go and volunteer at a VFW or something, and learn some eitiquette.

Too bad YOU don't see burning the flag as sacrilege or desecration.
I don't drape myself in anything or use flag napkins, etc.
So, are we to believe that you find the use of flag themed napkin amd plates as sacrilege, but condone the burning of the flag? Under the mantle of "free speech"??
I suppose if you had served your country and loved your country, you might begin to have some understanding of why most real Americans don't support that has "free speech".
Agaim, having served, I don't need to volunteer at the VFW.

I am a veteran of th USAF, honorably discharged after 2 contracts and an extenstion... So I have had my share of flag ceremonies, and understand what you do and dont do with a flag. I am sorry that flag burning upsets you as a freedom of speech...you know the freedom you SAY YOU SERVED FOR.

I jus t disagree with you about the part where burning our colors is "free speech".

It upsets me too, but it is protected. You have to deal with both sides of the sword.

It doesn't upset you in the least. If it did "upset" you, you wouldn't be defending the acts as vehemently as you do.

Its protected speech. Get over it...you being a troop in the service should understand what rights you were protecting...flag burning is one, like or not.....boo hoo....

Look, sonny...you just said that "it upsets me too,..." You can't have it both ways. It may be protected, that don't mean I gotta like it.
Now, KMA

You dont do football. Haha.

You can accept something and be upset that it is what it is...let's stop to think about that example for a second...I accepted the chiefs got beat by the bucs...I dont like it, but I accept it... I am certain we can think of a few more losing examples here as of lately, cant we?

Now who is to start puckering?

I don't do football...besides, that's a lousey analogy.

As far as the puckering goes, I started this off with " I bet you support the act of burning the flag", and you act as if your asshole took a bite out of a lemon...pucker up, buttercup.

Where did you fight?

Didn't fight...Dust-Off crewchief, Army MedEvac.
One need not have been in combat to respect the flag,

Really? They didn't need you to fight in the 'Nam?

Never said I did. That was before my time, junior.

Which war did you serve in this capacity?

Before your time? What time would that have been?

Before your time, junior.

So you dusted and cleaned in the 'Nam?

ahhh so totalitarian sentiments?

I agree the US flag should be flown proudly on a pole either in front of your house or place of business if you’re small business owner but never on your clothes. Glad we agree.
