You've already said that once and then brought it up again.

Pride and respect are not synonyms.

Does the USC state that is the only way to show respect? Your argument is rooted in the formal logical fallacy of denying the antecedent.
If you are following the USC, then you are respecting the flag/anthem.
You are not following the USC, so you are not respecting the flag/anthem.
The conclusion doesn't logically follow and your argument is invalid.
