We know (or ought to know) what the mainstream media's interest is in this story: it is to promote a false narrative - America is racist and bigoted, and our soldiers are heartless killers who are creating terrorists rather than merely fighting against them.

The real story, I think, is that too many young Americans are ignorant of the facts and symbols of their own nation's history, thanks to a corrupt educational system and a news media that promotes an ideological agenda through the use of selective facts and intentionally slanted language.
