bravery and nobility would have nothing to do with it. Flying a foreign flag OVER the US flag is an indicator that the property in question is being claimed by said flags representative country. case in point, flying the US flag on the statue of saddam after baghdads fall. what an uproar about us 'claiming' the country.

But, I know the laws of most of the states. In TEXAS, after dark, with an expectation that said property would most likely not be able to be recovered, I can shoot. During DAYTIME, that would be unlawful. I KNOW the gun laws very well so I know that simply shooting someone over property being stolen is not in itself a lawful act....UNLESS certain conditions can be met.

I dont think that treatment of the US flag is recommended in the Flag Code. |
I'm thinking that the OP isn't quite like what the video shows.
I would now have to call that particular veteran....whats that word? oh yeah. MORON!!!
