I served 22 years (I didn't die, however, and I know some on the left are sad about that) to protect the right for others to say and do what they want.
If I see you lighting a flag, however, my right to do what I want will be to go all Rick Monday on your ass.
Don't know who Rick Monday is? Google him or check the video out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbr1hNp-nI4
