That'll show them! And it will protect you! It was deemed unpatriotic, not to display the flag on SOMETHING, your house, car, T-shirt, whatever. Was kinda spooky.
The Bush Cabal played us like violins, didn't they?

No kidding about the flags, lets not forget our catch phrase "HOME
LAND". I heard that and thought "FATHER
LAND" and "MOTHER
LAND" - we are Fascists.
When I confronted people about it they called me unpatriotic and stupid - so I recognized that this was the countries choice.
911 demanded a response but we could not even do that right, our actions have empowered the enemy so now we have a stronger and evolving enemy that is growing by pointing to our Crusade against them.
They can say
"fight them over there" in the United States
"so that we do not have to fight them here" [Iraq, Iran, Saudi......fill in the blank _____].
But we all know now (I hope) that this action was an incorrect move - it is a shame that the military is promoting religious fanaticism. I know that this is not accepted in the majority of the military population.
