I'd be willing to guess that the Corporal being used for this Facebook nonsense would say he supports anyone's right to do just that.

Agreed. I did two tours in Anbar with USMC and have picked up friends and put them in bags. It means something to me. However, I am not an advocate of compulsory reverence. It means nothing if to force someone to stand, etc.

That being said, I have never met anyone who disrespected the colors who wasn't an abject failure at life in general and a miserable human being.

This may not be a popular opinion but I’ve never really understood such reverence for a piece of cloth. As a former enlisted, I can appreciate the idea, but I’ve always put more stock in the principles behind that flag and not the flag itself. Some actually display more reverence for that piece of cloth than the creator who endowed them with the inalienable rights for which it stands.
