Not just conservatives, but folks who grew up during the Cold War and the early days of Nasa.
But it's true, the American flag doesn't get a lot of respect in this country any more. Just watch a football game.


I dunno. I'm a Vietnam Vet. Served in the Marines. I find this hyperventilating over the omission of the planting of the American flag to be little more than a conservative political issue. You can see this in the snide remarks concerning Muslims and transgender people made by some of the posters in this thread. Now you are just sticking in unnecessary political shots and rude personal shots. Control yourself.
