Current law allows her to defend and support the flag, if she doesn't damage or take their property.

Property rights meet free speech. I support her for her support of that flag we fought under. I don't support damaging the property of others.

The whole thing sucks, but that is current law.

She needs lots of loud free speech to overcome the idiots that walk on the flag.

Leave it to the federal congress to screw things up.

The Ssgt has my respect for standing up for the flag. Not for taking it.

***I had on my uniform during my entire term in the Air Force***

I knew men who went in as basic Airmen and were discharged as Staff Sergeants after four years. I never got above Sergeant, and that was just after the USAF adjusted their rankings and all Airmen First Class were suddenly now Sergeants with no extra stripes. (1968).

the protesters were walking on a Muzzie flag, who would be charged, and with what?

... your question applies as well to if it was the homosexual "flag" which is as sacred to the Left and worthy of uncompromising respect.

There were at least four of them, which I can see “being necessary” for such an imposing little girl...

Yes, that too.

I departed the Air Force as a Staff Sargent in 1980 after six years.I enjoyed that period excepting my tour in the ROK.

Having a weak President “Carter” and millions of crazy North Koreans and a military coup and assasination of President Park did not make it a warm and fuzzy tour.

Precisely. Isn’t it a pity so few on our side were man enough to wear the uniform. “Other Priorities” I guess.

You missed the Reagan years; what a pity. I hope you at least stuck it out in the reserves, if you did, you’re coming up on your pension.
