Typical response. "Why don't you get in the military and chest-thump too!"
My point earlier was flag-worship is a hallmark of allegiance to the state. All totalitarian states promote devotion by their citizens. It is one thing to worship a god, it is quite another to worship a man-made object created by men to control other men.

College Boys...lol, itll be a few more years until he realizes he dont know everything... if hes lucky

Maybe he should enlist!
If the gov waits until he's a little older, he may be harder to convince following orders blindly is a good idea. I used to think the army wanted teens because they were young, strong, fit. They really need them to be malleable, in body, and mind.

Like when he realizes he dont know half the stuff he thinks he does.

Maybe? he needs some convincing , I'm referencing his age not his beliefs , sure he can believe whatever he wants ....dont make it true.

Old men stuck in their ways...lol, they'll likely not know they don't know everything.

Flags are symbols and identifiers for ships, armies, buildings, and Olympians. Nothing more than strips of cloth. We owe our loyalty to the keeping of freedom and liberty for everyone, not that flag.

Watch out, youngun - you start making statements like that and you'll piss folks off.

I also think that lil Miss Sitmyassinthecarandhidefrommydutyandpostitonline would be getting a nice long visit from her unit and base OPSEC representatives, with some good old CBT training and some hands on learning of the concept of OPSEC.
