Opinion on "patriots" and actual respect for the flag

[Mr. Reactionary]

If its Ok to kneel during the National Anthem, I dont see how its improper to wear Stars and Stripes bandanas. Flag fetishists care way too much about this. Legally we can burn and desecrate the flag, certainly then we can wear it. Its no more of a stretch to say its patriotic to wear a flag than it is to say that its respectful to protest during flag ceremonies.

[Mr. Reactionary]

It should be obvious that including the flag on U.S. military uniforms is not a violation of the flag code.

I'm well aware of what the full flag code is and that military uniforms are not in violation, however this was mostly addressing the garbage, cherry picked argument Ghost of Ruin is making.

If he doesn't complain about every instance in which this is violated, he has no business complaining in this one.

I'd happily blow my nose and cough on the American Flag. While they aren't legally binding, the Flag Code regs are dumb and its amusing to see the feigned "patriotism" of flag fetishization by a lefty.

A basic level of respect for an important symbol costs nothing and is common courtesy.

I know of many symbols important to a lot of people that others happily debase and disparage despite it costing nothing to just ignore them. The American Flag doesn't get to be special in this regard.
