What does flying a flag prove when you aren't willing to fight for what it stands for?

Question

"iranian flag"?

I'm an American, I fly the US flag.

Is English your second langauge? That would explain why you appear confused and can't actually answer the question as you jabber a response.

My yahoo id is a nod to Bob Seger (Live: Bullet)

Do you think you could put your crack pipe down long enough to answer the question?

"against the military"?

Nope. USAF veteran here.

you?

Basically I'm saying, other than waving your flag, what have you ever done in service to this great nation?

" I don't bother to answer "

So why yap a response and make a complete fool out of yourself?

" I don't bother to answer "

So why yap a response and make a complete fool out of yourself?

"che"? (islama bin sober, I'd recognize you anywhere!) LMAO IF you had ever learned anything from me you'd get over your homosexual obsession. So why haven't you done that?

"Haven't you got urinals to scrub at the Federal Building? "

Federal Agents don't scrub our own toilets, that's what custodians are for. Will you ever get over being rejected for the toilet cleaning job or will you pout forever?

I don't support the terrorists, so why lie?

"US Marines
76-77 "

How did you manage to serve just one year as a jarhead?

Answer 1

Amen.

The flag stands for something. The flag itself is nothing unless it stands for something. Like freedom. Justice. What your nation stands for is represented by a flag, but a flag is just a piece of cloth.

I think these pseudo-patriots that get their knickers in a bind about flags and all this garbage need to join the military and put their money where their mouths are.

Answer 2

With Liberty and Justice for ALL
Amen

"Those who stand for nothing will fall for anything"

It proves that you have $14.95 to spend on a piece of cloth that means nothing to you. What makes people so arrogant that they think other people should die for their freedom when they are unwilling to fight for others? People who are anti-military need to replace the red on their flags with yellow.

I wasn't talking about you, just the people you were asking about. I'm starting NROTC training in two weeks at OSU.

For clarification- "you" refers to the "you" in the original question, not necessarily "you" the reader or "you" the asker. I make no assumptions of any of you (the asker and readers) as I have never met you (the asker and readers). You, unless otherwise specified, is a reference to the hypothetical "you"s who fly the flag and aren't willing to fight for what it stands for.

OK, back to my first sentence, look at how it doesn't say "With liberty for those whom it is convenient for us to provide it to and tax money for irresponsible people who happen to live here." Funny how that works, eh?

Answer 3

I don't know, maybe it means you support those who are willing to fight or maybe it means you at least will not undermine those who fight. Maybe it means you don't consider our military to be the enemy.

Flying the flag means supporting the "Republic for which it stands" not for any particular political party or policy. That is why I do not consider those who refuse to fly it to be patriots.

Answer 4

Depends on what for we're being asked to fight. A situation like Iraq is not noble. Bush Co. is sacrificing US soldiers and Iraqis for who knows what. He doesn't even know.

Charitable work, Habitat for humanity, etc. or just speaking my mind, making my thoughts known to anyone who cares to listen.

Answer 5

So, basically, your saying if you aren't going to fight on the front lines, then you shouldn't wave a flag? Why? Who should wave flags, and when is it appropriate?

Answer 6

I'm in Afghanistan, RIGHT NOW, more than ready to whoop some sorry so and so that treads on my red, white and blue.

Answer 7

So fly your Iranian flag if it makes you feel better.

Answer 8

It means nothing to you terrorist supporters.
