Which is more evil?

I think that all flags wrapped around politicians should be burned!

Flags are essential. We must have a flag so that cannon fodder can wrap themselves in it. We need our cannon fodder properly directed. Every nation needs cannon fodder from time to time. Don't burn flags. Otherwise we would never have tools to convince cannon fodder that they are the patriots.

This safely posted here because no one in the Cellar would be foolish enough to become cannon fodder. I could be wrong.

cannon fodder? well, i guess i've signed up to be cannon fodder for the last 13 years(although January 12th will bring the end of my military career). i don't think i'm the most stupid individual on the planet.

i do believe that burning that flag is a constitutionally protected right that i'm willing to give my life for. even if the people who do it are, IMO, ignorant and generally just piss me off.

i believe that the idiots who want an amendment banning flag burning are just that - idiots. most of them don't get why some of us who have been willing to put on a uniform and hold a position are ok with the constitution the way it is.

i believe that the idiots that want to pass a law against flag burning, don't truly believe in the cause, and are only doing it to position themselves for the next election cycle and are double damned.

i don't care what the hell you stand for, just truly stand for it and i'll support your right to do that. if you are just vocalizing certain "beliefs" to get votes... well, i'd like to shoot you for it.

yep, i've been absent from the cellar, but little has changed in my thought process.

The smart soldier is not cannon fodder. Flags are but one tool so that cannon fodder can be directed into their hell. As Patton said, the other soldier should die for his country. Unfortunately, every nation at some time needs some cannon fodder. Flags are but one tool to recruit and direct those types into a frontal assault.

The smart soldier also knows the difference between a flag and a country.

I like that idea!

Dangerous subject either way. Burning the flag is inherently obscene to me, but I still think people should have the right to do so if it makes 'em happy. Tough call.

This site explains why an amendment or law against flag burning will not work. Can't be enforced. Is a huge warm and fuzzy joke.
