[quote=briansd1][quote=svelte]Symbolism, whether it be a flag or a cross or a wedding ring, is such a ridiculous thing to spend any time and effort on in the first place.

I agree. For people it’s all about MY flag, MY religion and fidelity to ME.
Pretty stupid to get overcome with rage and anger over symbols.[/quote]
BriBri, You need to have a cup of coffee with someone who has seen combat. They may be able to enlighten you. Short of that at least go see a graduation at our own MCRD. Symbols are important part of what America stands for, especially OUR flag. Anyone in the military will help you with this concept. After all they put their lives on the line for your right to state ill informed opinions.
