People like to hide behind patriotism and use it as a shield for themselves and a spear for those who don't have the same beliefs as them.
The hell? Some guy was bitching that the american legion was ceremonially burning a worn out flag? Isn't burning the flag like that how you're supposed to dispose of them? I hope someone there told that idiot.
