I'm not a big flag waver myself, but I know the frigging protocol for displaying and respecting the flag. If I were to display it, you can be damn sure I'd take it down at sunset, fold it like I was taught, and stow it until reveille.
It really gets up my nose when some of my sanctimonious, flag waving neighbors leave the flag up 24/7/ 365, unilluminated, and let it get into tatters, and come off all "I'm patriotic and you aren't."
Fuck. YOU. I know how to treat our flag asswipe, and it isn't some jingoistic happy dance.
You should have to pass a test and get a permit to display our flag if you ask me. Too many douchebags thinking they are patriots who haven't got a clue.
I have one neighbor, (guess what branch of the service he was in) who takes his flag down every night at sunset and puts it up every morning. He's the only only one in this damn town who has a clue.
He' also a good egg.
need a hint? (Semper Fi)
