I'm going to assume that you're rather young.

That said, flying a flag in a country that is not yours, USED TO BE, back when we were still (semi-)sane, was deemed an act of war.

You know not of what you speak. I am willing to defend the American flag by use of force, but I am still not willing to burn a Mexican flag.

And it is only an act of war if the government of Mexico raised the flag. Otherwise I could get Spain to declare war on France with only the cost of airfare and a French flag.
