Granted, its free speech to burn the flag in protest. It'* given in the Constitution. And I have no problem with that.
But we seem to have a little epidemic of retards on Youtube stomping, burning the flag with no purpose or reasoning other than to troll the rest of us. 99% of them have no clue what its like to carry that flag in a foreign country as I have.
