3. I've even seen some veterans wearing flag apparel
I honor the rules regarding the flag, with one exception:

I have no problem with anyone burning the flag in protest. I'm a combat veteran, but I see such protests as reaffirming our enshrined comitment to the protection of free speech. As long as they're not burning the flag flying outside my house, or the courthouse, or the post office, protesters have every right, under our Constitution, to burn the flag.
