The flag in hands of the enemy is just a piece of cloth...SERE School
This is a democracy and the right to criticize our government is one of our basic rights. And we may not like the way some wish to express their displeasure but that is their right. To them the flag is nothing. It is just a piece of cloth. They have never been in a life or death situation for their country and until they are they just won't understand. Kind of like religion. You believe or you don't. Politicians like to bring up this subject to make themselves look more patriotic and to hide the fact that they do nothing about the real problems. Don't be a pawn.
Maybe the next time a politician brings this up someone should ask how come we have the highest murder rate of any industrialized nation. Or how come our students rank so low when compared to most other countries, including many third world nations. Immigration, Iraq, poverty (in America), working poor.. the list goes on and on before we get to flag burning.
