military victims killed overseas

I'm against it for that too, actually. When America is at war and men are killed in battle, the flag needs to fly high. Half mast should be for specific occasions of national mourning, such as for a dignitary. In other words, not for soldiers lost in battle in World War II, but for FDR when he died.

Come to think of it, I had mixed feelings about seeing the flag at half mast after 9/11 too. I wanted it high.
