Budget cuts. Over the course of a year that extra time adds up.

It is ridiculous the amount of stuff that they lower the flag for these days. Most of which are against the flag code. It has gotten to the point that flag spends at much time at half mast as it does at full mast.
First time I noticed this was when MLK's wife died and Clinton ordered them lowered. It has become a joke IMO.

at the LSU pokes.
I understand now if it’s about the shootings. It IS sad. It’s serves as a grim reminder that anyone can cut you and dozens of others down instantly totally out of the blue.

Now you go find where I said this or anything close? You have got to be a sky screaming liberal to come up with that. The thing only I said was that it has gotten to where they lower the flag for anything. Hell in my hometown they lowered the flag for a volunteer fireman who passed away not on the job but because he was 400 lbs. This stupid IMO.
When you fly it at half staff for so many things it begins to lose its meaning.
United States Code Title 4 Chapter 1 — The Flag
§7. Position and manner of display
m. The flag, when flown at half-staff, should be first hoisted to the peak for an instant and then lowered to the half-staff position. The flag should be again raised to the peak before it is lowered for the day. On Memorial Day the flag should be displayed at half-staff until noon only, then raised to the top of the staff. By order of the President, the flag shall be flown at half-staff upon the death of principal figures of the United States Government and the Governor of a State, territory, or possession, as a mark of respect to their memory. In the event of the death of other officials or foreign dignitaries, the flag is to be displayed at half-staff according to Presidential instructions or orders, or in accordance with recognized customs or practices not inconsistent with law. In the event of the death of a present or former official of the government of any State, territory, or possession of the United States, or the death of a member of the Armed Forces from any State, territory, or possession who dies while serving on active duty, the Governor of that State, territory, or possession may proclaim that the National flag shall be flown at half-staff, and the same authority is provided to the Mayor of the District of Columbia with respect to present or former officials of the District of Columbia and members of the Armed Forces from the District of Columbia. The flag shall be flown at half-staff 30 days from the death of the President or a former President; 10 days from the day of death of the Vice President, the Chief Justice or a retired Chief Justice of the United States, or the Speaker of the House of Representatives; advert of the sizegenetics; from the day of death until interment of an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, a Secretary of an executive or military department, a former Vice President, or the Governor of a State, territory, or possession; and on the day of death and the following day for a Member of Congress. The flag shall be flown at half-staff on Peace Officers Memorial Day, unless that day is also Armed Forces Day. As used in this subsection —
1. the term “half-staff” means the position of the flag when it is one-half the distance between the top and bottom of the staff;
2. the term “executive or military department” means any agency listed under sections 101 and 102 of title 5, United States Code;

That doesn't show up as a day to fly it at half staff.

Jesus Christ. This is the hill you want to die on? Being upset about honoring the dead?
