In reply to the discussion: U.S. Veterans stage a protest outside college where the American flag was removed [View all]I'm a military veteran and they shouldn't be disrespecting the flag of this great country. The flag isn't the problem, the people aren't the problem. I didn't put my life on the line to watch them take them down. Find any other way to protest this but that's not the way. I'll step in line with you but don't mess with my flag
