As long as the flag is your own and doing so doesn’t risk injury to others, who am I to stand in your way of making an a$$ of yourself? While I am opposed to the creation of monuments to the state, they are public property and are subject to the same laws as private property. Finally, spitting on another person can be construed as assault, and should be prosecuted as such. Of course I don’t sympathize with such people, as a soldier and somebody whose father experienced the same thing.

Thank you for the honest response, and even more so for your service to our country.

All consider this a monument to our heroic soldiers; not a monument to the state.

Well, almost all.
