Yes
It's an opinion board.
and in my opinion, if assholes can get away with burning the US flag
other assholes can keep the stars and bars flying over a memorial.
After all, "It's just a piece of cloth".
Another RW against the US Constitution.
Against the Constitution?
Wasn't it you who wrote "...if assholes can get away with burning the US flag..."?
I'll bet you don't understand why this is statement is unconstitutional:
Going with the "Freedom of Speech" line?
Burn a flag, Freedom of Speech,
Burn the Capitol building, arson.
What burns my ass, is I spent 20 years defending your right to be an asshole.
There is one thing that sets the US apart from every other country on the planet - our First Amendment. Some fools call it a "god given right" but, in point of fact, many have given their lives for it. If you call that a "line", you're very ignorant of the power it has as well as our responsibility to continue to fight for the freedoms it gives us.
One of the ways we fight for those freedoms by constantly testing them. Whether is some kkk slime, Westboro, blacks protesting police brutality, a silly ass shock jock, Hustler magazine (because, in his wacko way, he fought so hard for 1st Amendment rights for all Americans, not because its the worst), you being the asshole you're accusing me of being - all of those things and more are tests that every one of us needs to fight for.
OTOH, if its true you served in the US military, you took an oath to "...support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies,
foreign and domestic..."
The "confederate" flag is a symbol of domestic terrorism.
And the US flag is a very important symbol of the Constitution you swore to "support and defend".
