Just because you are in the military, you do not have the right to judge some one b/c of their political views. How did they cross the line? Did they kill anyone? Did they commit an act of terrorism? We also have the right to peacably protest and that is what this person is doing. I don't agree with what he has done, but it is his right to do it if he so chooses as long as he does it in a peaceful manner. Again, thank you for your service, but just remember; you are the one fighting for his right to do this so deal with it.
    You are right, they are fighting for our freedom of speech, etc... But that flag he has disgraced represents the freedom that he has... And he obviously isn't grateful. It's so disrepectful IMO.

    If people don't like America, there are plenty of other places for them to move. Why gripe and complain? Just move on and try to make yourself happy somewhere else. Seriously

    No one who lives here dislikes it on the whole. There are just certain things which play a major role and make the entire country look bad. Maybe...just maybe, they feel like they can be a proper citizen and stay and change what they don't like, so they can enjoy living here.

    So being a "proper citizen" is disgracing an AMERICAN flag?

    Hmmm...

    I don't think whoever did that aimed to "change" anything...just to express themselves. What I said had very little connection to that picture. I don't agree with desecrating the flag like that...but I'm not the one in that picture.

    That's his right though. In fact, he is taking advantage of his rights...so yea, he's a proper citizen. A lot of people would have a problem with me having a gun, but hey...I have the right to.

    I do see what you're saying. It just kills me because I think it is so disrespectful. And it obviously (whether it should or shouldn't) upsets those who put their lives on the line for us every day. But again, I see what you're saying.

    An expression of frustration? Makes sense...haha, but this thread has gone every which way...probably out of frustration.

    Oh yea...as for that bit I said earlier...here's why this thread will just go on until the lock. There's no winning here...everyone's got a different idea of how they think this country should operate...and one man's trash is another man's treasure so...there. Each side will just be happy for increments of time.
