Why should we lower the flag we don’t do it when one of troops die.
It is a peeve of mine for many, many, years now.
I despise the lowering of flags to half-staff for every damn thing that happens.
I understand it for Pearl Harbor. I understand it for 9/11.
I can even understand it for the death of anyone who has served as President, even if I disagree with that President fundamentally on everything.
But I hate lowering it for anyone who has died an untimely or violent death, as much as I may like/dislike a person or group, or even if I know anything at all about it.
To me, it fosters a sense of national victimhood, which I utterly detest.
