Got to see the burning of an American Flag last night!

Sounds more like an Al-Qaeda terrorists training camp to me. I always knew you're un-american, but this is crossing the line. Reported to the FBI.
 
It's pretty neat, isn't it? I've had the pleasure of seeing two flags retired in my life, both when I was in Boy Scouts. Most people get to see one, if any.
 
Successful troll bait post is successful. Nothing to see here, move along.

While I've never gotten to see one, I've seen a hell of a lot of flags that should be retired. 🙁
My own university has a couple in need even.

Yeah, it was pretty cool. Kind of caught me off guard though. I didn't really know how the retired old/worn flags, burning it was the last thing I thought they were going to do with it. :laugh:

They played Taps and saluted while the flag was burned. It was kind of emotional actually.

I've taken part in many flag-burning ceremonies to respectfully retire a worn out flag.
The ones that piss me off the most are the redneck morons with a flagpole and flag in the back of their truck. "Yee-Haw! Lookit me! I ar a PATRIOT!" but they're too fucking stupid to realize that driving around, especially at freeway speeds tears a flag to shreds...a MOST disrespectful way to fly a flag.

If you want to disrespect the US flag, burn the dammed thing in protest of something, don't do it out of sheer "ignance."
 
California? Check. Flag-burning? Check.
OMGLIBURLTERRISTSALQAEDAHOMOSEXUALCOMMUNISTECOKOOKWANKERS! Call the FBI!

😛

Anyway, glad the flag got a proper retirement. Many have no idea what the protocol is and just end up throwing them out without any respect. :thumbsup: to those who know better.

i did a few times in the boy scouts.


we would also walk around the neighborhood and ask the people who flew them dialy about retireing the old ones. a few people even got pissed when we told them what is done with them.

That's the first time my sarcasm meter has gone to plaid. 😛
