Let me rephrase...@KF7....ever served?
Who the fuck cares? I just read the first amendment again. Doesn't say anything about military service. I quoted Colin Powell on this matter. What the fuck do you have to say to that, or are you going to sit around jacking off to The Star Spangled Banner and engaging in flag worship? If you hate free speech and believe you are more entitled to not get offended at ideas, then you shame your service, the Republic, and are why the military is subordinate to civil authorities. What on earth makes you think military service makes the difference between being able to hold a valid opinion or not? You sound like a liberal going off on hate speech. You want censorship and military worship? Move to North Korea.
The men and women of this country care.
For those who served, that flag doesn't just represent the ideals of this country. It represents the brothers and sisters who fought beside us.
Some of whom, died beside us.
It represents our family by combat.
And the fact you didn't serve, tells me you have no clue how strong, or how meaningful, that bond is.
Sure, we have that retarded bunch over in the corner...... but even they get a pass for the simple fact that they stepped forward and served.
You claim to be a writer. The hallmark of a good writer is to be able to understand a character that the writer is not, and convey those thoughts and feelings to the paper for the reader.
Let me put it in context for you. When we see the flag abused...It's like....
being kicked in the nuts....
seeing a defenseless member of your family being beaten and humiliated....
A bunch of guys calling your grandmother a whore, while tearing her clothes off...
Your sister being gang raped...
someone dousing the family dog in gas and setting it on fire ....
All at once, while you are forced to watch it... with no way to stop it.
That "flag" is a symbol that represents: our brother, our sister, our father, our mother, our spouse, our friends, and our home.
It provides comfort in times of need. It provides courage when things are bleak.
But most of all it provides Hope.
It is the symbol of our salvation from the fucked up, hell, you call a war zone.
Your ignorant tirade, just goes to show that all you really care about is how it affects you.
So...On behalf of Troops everywhere....You're fucking Welcome!
Enjoy your 1st Amendment Freedom to say spiteful things to the very Troops who dared voice their own 1st Amendment views.
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it - No matter how fucking stupid you sound."
To paraphrase Jeep....
It's a Military thing...You wouldn't understand.
