[QUOTE="John6185, post: 3208864, member: 25679"] With all due respect, the flag does indeed represent something and it is apparent that you have never been in the military and have no understanding of how our military treats and respects the flag "That gives them nothing," The flag is a national treasure and deserves to be protected, a symbol of freedom, liberty and human rights. ... A symbol men rally behind, whether on our shores or foreign shores. It further is a symbol of the power of the United States both here in the United States as well as being respected throughout the world. It is the banner that men and in recent years women have died for and under and their caskets are draped with "The flag that gives nothing" and it is presented to the deceased survivor as a symbol of the gratitude of a grateful nation. You are correct that the military takes an oath to protect and defend the Constitution but those working for the government took a similar oath regarding the Constitution albeit somewhat more lightly since they don't fully understand what the oath actually entails. So you see, the flag represents far more to our military than the average person on the street and it is something far more than a piece of cloth. I ask you, if we have no flag, what are we? What do we have? [/QUOTE]
