Video

I get that military service members fought, myself included, and died for the freedoms that these idiots take for granted.

I just don't undertstand how someone would think it would be alright to disgrace the flag "just because you can"...

I'm beginning to hate society as a whole... It just makes me very sad the direction that it's trending towards.

The Marines exist so that Americans can fly the US flag upside down if they choose to do so.

Most of those fricking idiots don't even know what it means when they fly a flag upside down.

Are those Marines too stupid to realize that the flag flown upside down is a sign of distress and not desecration?

Yes, they do. That's why they fly it upside down.

I mean, those 'idiots' are exercising one of those freedoms in the video, correct?

Word on the street is that the protesters tried flying their surrender flag upside down but no one got it.

No they don't, those assholes clearly aren't in distress, those assholes are flying the flag as a sign of disrespect to the country. Sooooo...frick em. Would've been nice to see them whip their asses with the flagstaff, then plant the flag right-side-up in their fat bellies.

They clearly aren't in distress, the nation is not in a time of distress, the order never came from anybody to fly it upside down. They were doing it to disrespect the country.

how dare they exercise their first amendment right that the tools in the video claim to have fought for. We've been through this at LSU. Let them be liberal douchebags and engage in petulant behavior, it's their right.

And how dare the Marines take offense to how they were flying the flag of our nation to show disrespect to it. They can excercise that right to fly it like that, as long as the people defending it can excercise their rights to take offense and protest how they're flying it.

That's weird, I see people claiming that it is literally every day in the OT and PT boards.

I can't watch the video right now, but if they took the flag by force then they weren't exercising their rights. But I agree that it's okay to complain about it. No doubt about that.
