I don’t understand this weird American obsession with flag. I was looking at some photos of Trump’s rallies. Flags everywhere - on shirts, hats, glasses etc. And this bizarre cult of the flag - “it cannot touch the ground” etc.

At the end of the day the flag is just a piece of cloth. If you worship any flag or take offense to any flag, you need to get a life.

    Buddy of mine visited after some time in the army and I had to stop him from beating some other dude’s ass because they accidentally let their flag graze the ground barely, I’ll never understand loving the symbol of the people you supposedly joined up to protect over the ACTUAL FUCKING PEOPLE themselves. Thankfully, that behavior and the PTSD he got from being in the middle east for a while seem to have subsided.

        I don’t disagree, seeing his (thankfully temporary) transformation into maximum chud massively changed my opinion on the military.
