Dano Posted August 15, 2009 Share #4 Posted August 15, 2009 I applaud your actions, sir. I would have done the same thing. I was not able to serve but grew up in the house of a Korean vet, Former State Commander of the American Legion and Past Chef de Guerre of the 40 & 8. I carry a deep sense of respect for our flag and country. My thoughts have always been, if you don't like the way we live and defend our right to our freedoms, then you have the right to move to another country of your choice! Once again thank you sir, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron To bad you didn't take her (for good). Let her go live in another country is she doesn't have any respect for our flag or our country Screw her and get the heck out! And don't ask me how I really feel about it! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman Posted August 15, 2009 Share #6 Posted August 15, 2009 Many men have died for that flag and what it stands for. I thank you and all who have done the same or feel the same. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArticusMedicus Posted August 15, 2009 Share #7 Posted August 15, 2009 Sir, I thank you for your service to our country and to our Flag. Very soon, my son will be "skids down" in Afghanistan, I'm not so sure he would have been able to show the restraint to showed in that video. I think I would be visiting him in Prison... And I would PROUDLY visit him as often as I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlS Posted August 15, 2009 Share #8 Posted August 15, 2009 My biggest fear is that this war will not end before the public turns on all the brave service men and Women that are serving our country and fighting for the right for all people of the world to be free. It does my heart good to see people in airports clapping for the servicemen coming home and the welcome they get from their hometowns. I remember coming home and having things thrown from cars at me, being spit at and being called baby killer. I go out of my way to shake the hands of servicemen and Women I meet. lets all pray that they come home soon. USMC Always faithful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest seuadr Posted August 15, 2009 Share #13 Posted August 15, 2009 God loves a dead solider? what the hell is wrong with these people... do they even have any idea what being a christian is, have they ever cracked the spine of a bible? these people amaze me. I don't feel at all secure about the future of america with people like this breeding, and all our laws and warnings to stave off natural selection.

flb_78 Posted August 15, 2009 Share #14 Posted August 15, 2009 Freedoms work both ways. The same Constitution that allows one to proudly fly the flag also allows these people to desecrate it. If you actually did put your hands on her, Im surprised you're not in jail. This is the exact reaction these people want. The best thing to do is to completely ignore them. Do not even acknowledge them. Just walk right by them and do not look at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
