The left obviously wants the flag to be lowered for the entire length of any war.
In wartime you keep the flag high on purpose. In Revolutionary or Civil War battles, the flag carriers were taught to hold the flag high, even if they were wounded, and someone else would instantly pick up the flag if they were.
If the flag were at half staff all the time, it would be meaningless. If you have two tragedies at once, do you lower it to the ground?
Flying the American flag at half staff because of losses in battle appears as if we're surrendering to a victory by our enemies. Which is obviously what the Democrat/media complex wants.
Yep. That’s it. You got it.
