Everyone should know, US flag code is relatively new phenomenon, with the beginnings of it forming around 1942. My grandfather predated US flag code.
Similarly, flying the flag at half-staff/mast only goes back to 1954-ish.
Regarding the US flag & how it is presented, treated, there is a lot of customs & nuance that we’re just kind of making up as we go along. It seems as the world gets smaller, the rate of divergency & traditions is accelerating.
Most soldiers I’ve met don’t really care about the flag code. They dislike the flag being burned but currently there’s not much we can do about that.
I am (mostly) mindful of “flag code”, just out of my own personal respect & love for America. But it’s not law; the flag is made for Americans. Americans aren’t made for the flag, to structure our actions around what some guys said in 1942.
yeah, most of you beta leftists get super hung up on hypocrisy. it really astounds me. they don’t give a shit about your goose and gander arguments or what you think of them. are you going to clutch your pearls forever or are you going to do something about it?
All these flag-huggers constantly violate flag code.
I don’t even give a shit about flag code, but the hypocrisy annoys the fuck out of me.
What do you mean “it’s disrespectful to hang the flag behind my pavement princess’s over-the-cab exhaust and roll coal”?
Brother this is 'murica, it’s disrespectful not to.
/s, of course.

It spawned out of post-WWII American nationalism, and it is being ignored by people embracing pre-WWII German nationalism.
Nothing to see here, folks
I realize it’s not law. But if you supposedly love the flag so much you do shit like Trump does and hug it, but ignore flag code, it’s hypocritical.

Using “beta” non-sarcastically screams that you’re a fuckin’ loser.
