A neighbor has had their flag at half mast since the Obama days

I they got tired of raising and lowering it every
week

It’s purpose has been so diminished, when it’s actually warranted, like thuis occasion, nobody knows why it’s flown that way that day

Apples and oranges. When they cited Dole as a hero in 1996, it was indisbutable. When they constantly called McCain a hero in 2008, a I threw up a little each time.

Don’t know where this tradition began but I don’t like it. Our flag doesn’t hang its head or bow to anyone.

Or, how about going halfmast for homeless or suicidal veterans who die every day?

“When they cited Dole as a hero in 1996, it was indisbutable. When they constantly called McCain a hero in 2008, a I threw up a little each time.” Concur. McCain was a Despicable Human Being and a Fraud who would have been thrown out of the Navy if his daddy wasn’t an Admiral.
