Want to burn a flag? Sit during the anthem? Not put your hand over your heart?  Good for you.

Want to do all those things?  Good for you too!

There are some people who think if you don't wear an American Flag pin while running for office you don't love America enough.  I find it all silly.

Totally agree.....still doesn't mean they're not either misguided or being a douche, in my eyes.  I just think of it as a way to pay homage to our veterans....especially when the color guard is present.

Thank you for serving....I get your gist, I just don't agree with it.  When they play the anthem, and you are in uniform, do you sit?
