I love our flag. I spent a long time in the military and have feelings about the flag that most civilians cannot understand. I have seen men risk their lives to protect the flag.Im talking about the flag itself,not the symbol that it also is.
My firsr thought about desecration of the flag would to shoot anybody who would do it.
I dont think that we need or want a Constitutional Amendment. If I buy a flag and want to burn it I think it is my right to do so. I know that it would make some people mad if I did it but I think that it should not be illegal.
How would you write such a law and how would you enforce it?
Suppose someone burned a 49 star flag. It IS not the flag of this country. Would that be prohibited? Should it be? Do you know what is done with worn out flags? They are burned.
It would have to be a pretty silly law which is why I dont think it is necessary.
Most of the forum members would,given the opportunity, protest some aspect of our government. Should this be prohibited?
What do you think????
