I guess I misunderstood the point of the flag thing then. I assumed it was making the opposite point. Thanks for the post, because I completely misunderstood what the point they were trying to make was.

Also, the burning of a flag is not only a protest option, but also the PROPER way to give a flag it's last salute. The destruction of a US Flag, either due to age and wear or because it has touched the ground, is to burn and bury it. This is how the military disposes of it's flags. Government offices usually give their flags over to the local VFW chapter to do the same. I applaud your patriotism 100%... I just think you should know the facts.

Umm, I know the facts, thanks.
What I was referring to when I said flag burning was not the respectful disposal of an old flag, but the burning of the flag by foreigners.
