The Department of Defense has issued a formal ruling barring military personnel from towing the American flag behind them during parachute jumps and from participating in the horizontal display of the American flag.

A Feb. 10 memo from the DOD Public Affairs office sent to the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and National Guard PR departments reminds soldiers to show proper respect for the U.S. Flag during community events.

How about the military showing respect for tradition and getting rid of transgendered individuals

[Steely Tom]

Needlessly divisive?

Well, can they tow transgendered individual then?

[SPDSHDW]

DoD wouldn’t know respect and tradition if Patton beat it out of their perfumed asses.

[BenLurkin]

Flags during jumps, and unfurlings have been common practice for a loooong time. Why the sudden change?

[willk]

Probably would be okay if they were using the rainbow flag instead.

[CivilWarBrewing]

The current DoD’s idea of “proper respect” for our flag is.. BURNING IT.

[for-q-clinton]

Or it would be fine if they were burning the USA flag as they jumped. I’m sure the leftists in the DOD would love that.

[realcleanguy]

They are getting ready to ban flags on post? You know, the American flag might be offensive to our enemies........

[DoughtyOne]

And to make up for it, just fly a rainbow flag. That is
acceptable. LOL

Just blowing off steam. I can see how the flags may not
wind up in a respectful landing at times.

Wonder if the brass would have any objection if they all start jumping with the queer flag?

[Sooth2222]

This one should be okay, though.

[traditional2]

The New World Order, which runs the governments of nearly all nations, including the former USA, has no problem with flying the white flag, or the rainbow flag, however.

Rump Rangers is going to be the new Division in each military Branch, along with the bearded guys in mini-skirts.

WHAT THE??????

[WhoisAlanGreenspan?]

Yeah absolutely true. Then you have my stupid neighbor down the street, flags in both front and back yard out eternally dark or light, rain or snow, no lights, probably thinks he's patriotic.

I'd confront him about it but he's a know-it-all motormouth who is very annoying.

Years ago I bumped into him at a gas station, I said hello Mike and he apparently didn't recognize me, so he growled. Like a dog he stood there looking into my eyes growling like a dog.

Well you have to understand that there are now ethnic/racial groups in America that are offended by Old Glory, and let’s not forget that the Russians, Chinese, and other American hating countries don’t like to see it either!

[Texas resident]

Order from China?

[NohSpinZone]

Tow or throw?

[fortes fortuna juvat]

Yeah, and I’m sure that’s what motivated this nonsense.

[ConservativeInPA]

Naw, just drop them from C-17’s and see if the gently fall like the flakes they are.

But seriously, I don’t think there are many fags that jump, they stick to MOS’s related to interior decorating and are usually found at the Pentagon.
