Why does it enrage some people to see the flag of their country on the ground, not bait actually wondering.

bump

Probably cuz the ground is dirty and they don't like to see the symbol of their country to have stains.

Disrespectful.

It's an old Roman tradition from which the term desecration directly derives. After battle captured banners and flags of the opppsition were brought to Rome and pressed to the ground in view of the standard of the army. The Red Army practiced this act at the conclusion of WWII with captured German banners in Moscow as recently as 1945.

Kind of. Then I pick it back up again and go on my way.

I have lived in America my whole life and I always wondered that. It's just a piece of fabric.

Well your a foriegner probably from mexico or somalia. Idk your cultures have no pride for their country, if you did thsn you wouldnt be here youd be fixing the country your from lol. Idk some races are just meant to piggy back of other successful races, having pride for our country and its flag is what makes this country so great. And ots the whole reason your here, because back where your from its a vomplete shithole.

Depends on the country. French flag for instance.. wouldn't anger anyone.

No. I've lived in America my entire life. My family is 99% American, and I despise this dumpster fire of a "nation".

No. It's just a flag. When I see mexicans protesting in the U.S. With mexican flags, though...

It's a cloth.
But the symbol is a flag that men died for.
Ala the Constitution.
But since the Constitution isn't on a flag pole....

its basically a religion, thus sacred, thus bullshit.

Then get the fuck out faggot. Go live literally wherever the fuck else. Steal your parents money and go. You wont, because you can't admit to yourself that America is an alright place to live.

Might as well move to Europe because of self-absorbed pretentious fags like you running around everywhere who think that just because they're brainwashed by consumerism automatically makes them better.

Just a flag suck it up if you're getting triggered over a flag being on the ground you're autistic.

/thread
you are my new hero

B U M P

>move to Europe
you mean shariastan?

Sure. Just get me out of this hellhole.

Then why you send your kids to die en shitistan or some other place in the middle of nowhere

I don't think I'm brainwashed by consumerism, I understand the convenience of it's uses but I could live alone in the woods my whole life without even seeing a person as well, I've got twenty two generations in this family with family members in two wars, and both sides of the civil war. This nation will stand the test of time and unite and free our world. Nothing you say and do will change the testament to liberty and freedom that United States of America represents. Great men and women have died for this nation, it's hopes, it's dreams. In the hearts of men and women greatness, and things feared are usually resented when not understood. In time you will see things that will change your opinion, both terrible and wonderful. This nation and the flag are the symbol of millions of lifetimes of people strived to doing better for the sons and daughters. To free them from the restrictions placed on the "proliterate" I am grateful for their sacrifice, I am happy with my life and ambitious to try harder every day to save the lives of even one man, woman or child. I hope to God when faced with the right decision of faith, patriotism and Pride you will one day understand. Through experience all things are learned Deus Volt.

...

It's symbolic. A flag bearer never allowed his country's flag to touch the ground in battle. It should only fall in defeat

8/8 gotta give it to him.

Do you think you are better?

Also, I can catch a fish with one hand.

because its supposed to be burning

By God all mighty the Bible fucking God damn says it. Don't let the American flag touch the ground cause fucking niggers.

Amen

Dunno.
Englishfag here.
We have no pride and don't even have an English public holiday on St George's Day.
Waiting for the Islamic flag to replace the red cross.

this thread is a fucking train wreck

Next time you're driving a car, roll down the window and give pedestrians the finger. It's weird seeing how angry they get.

If it's okay to burn the American flag because it's "just a piece of cloth" then why do liberals hate the Confederate flag so much?

I remember as a child I was interested in police, the military, rules of the flag, and other horseshit symbolism. Authoritarianism is for children.

What a completely irrelevant and idiotic comparison

Symbolism is real it ignites fire in men's hearts!

fuck you

Isn't everyone a foreigner in America

Faggot.

It's disrespectful to the men and wemen that died to defend the country that that flag stands for. It was also against the law until a liberal judge made it freedom of speech when it doesn't have shit to do with speech, just a way for liberals to throw hate at others they don't like. You talk about burning a Quran and they are all over you and saying that isn't free speech.

Holy fuck this nothing pisses me off more than people living in America saying shit like "This place is so trash"

I fought in the war and no the fuck it isn't disrespectful. What's disrespectful is your punk ass pretending you have any idea what it's like in the sandbox, or any other combat zone for that matter.

...

Solid counterpoint user.

Kys

See? u mad

...

...

Fuck the troops. Not even fighting real wars nowadays. Only way you can get killed or wounded is stepping on an IED. Jesus fuck use your eyes.

...

...

If they don't like america then they can geet out

What pisses me off is when user's use other people's words because they're too unintelligent to use the entire 5 seconds of thought process that is required to come up with their own opinion. "Now go on git!"

still mad

...

he mad

>Dude, your like... controlled by the military industrial complex
>I'm so enlightened
>Dude fuck consumerism and capitalism *sips starbucks and posts selfie on snapchat*
Please re-evaluate who the pretentious fags are you fucking cuck

...

U mad bro?

still mad

Actual pic of user

u really mad now

user's mum

t. Abdul

This is like using a stick to poke an angry dog or an Australian. u mad

...

Because they worship the almighty skycloth as a god

Fuck off cunt. The reason there isn't any real wars is because people volunteer to be the gun that at the world's head.

While you are spending every Christmas in your mom's basement jerking off into your own shit to hentai, real people are actually giving up such freedoms to make sure the yurops, gooks, and mudslimes are kept in check.

Never did quite understand this from a modern perspective. Get it from a military view.... once the colours go down the army/regiment/battalion/whatever is pretty much fucked. Before radios and shit soldiers would rally to the banners because that's where friends were. No banners = no friends = you're fucked.

Modern day, its a statement. Its not the flag, its the symbol of your country and what it stands for.
I don't see burning or throwing down a flag as a horrible thing. Stupid and juvenile, maybe.
> hurr I hate your country, so I will burn its flag and dance like a retard
Nah... I see people burning flags and I laugh at them. Its a meaningless, pointless exercise now and it only has power if the flag's owner chooses to bestow it.

...

Oh look an alt-right beta fag..

Tell me where were you stationed user?

Haha a flag worshipper is making fun of a liberal. You know a socialist created the pledge to indoctrinate kids right? Flag worship is the most unconservative thing you could do. When you say "don't tread on me" who the fuck do you think is gonna do the treading?

Mostly just dumbfuck ex-military cucks that were too stupid to not get con-jobbed into fighting for oil. Then got their pathetic tender little brains indoctrinated into actually being proud of the faggotry it represents. Fuck patriots.

...

Well they're doing a piss poor job of it. All they do is convince more people to join Isis.

Norfolk and Afghanistan, faggot.

It's not about stopping conflicts, its about containing them.

What base were you stationed at you lying piece of shit?

It's because our stripes stand for those who have died defending America and it would be disrespectful to let their sacrifice be laid on the ground and soiled

>developed
>widespread poverty

Pick one

Good you remember what we were taught in grade school.. That means the indoctrination was a success..

Now tell us in your own words why burning a piece of fabric is bad?

Don't worry we'll wait while you google an appropriate answer.. While you're at it why don't you tell us your MOS?

You lying ass cunt. I spent over 20 years in the military and been threw more than just one fucking war. You have no fucking clue about shit. Go back to Berkley and hug your gender studies teacher in your safe space.

You guys are doing one hell of a job containing global conflict. When the most powerful military in the world can't topple some shitskins and opium farmers clearly there's a problem.

I said it once and I'll say it again. Fuck the troops

Good job of avoiding the question.. It's blatantly obvious that you served your country now

Don't give him the satisfaction of pretending for one minute that he served anyone other than himself.

Fuck you you little ass cunt. You should be forced into the military and sent over to the middle east. Maybe you can lose your fucking head over there.

Fuck this board. I've had it.

Did you serve?

So you're telling me the American army is incapable of winning these wars? The so called mightiest military in the world is only capable of containment?

No, he's telling you that he doesn't know dick and that he get's hit political information from Facebook.

Mother fucker how did my freedoms end up in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and syria?

Or maybe because it costs $6000 to leave, and our foreign policy means wherever he goes, might be the next fucked place we bomb.

"Freedom" follows wherever we can find G.O.D

But you claim to believe in and support personal freedom. You're a bigger hypocrite than any liberal snowflake.

Hahahaha true.

Down. How's the internet over there? Wanna make sure I can still piss off alt right faggots in my free time

Well yeah but I love triggering neocons

Except none of these cucks have ever seen a battle, they're all armchair shitstains.
I put in two tours literally defending folks; right to free expression, and the herp-derp-oorah retards here who want to punch the people they swore to defend for exercising those rights are literally doing the opposite of what the military promises to do.

What country did you serve in?

Herp-derp-oorah

hahahaha i love you user

Libya, Kuwait and Iraq. Joined in 1985 and retired 2005. Does that answer your question? Or are you going to spout some other liberal bullshit.

you're* foreigner* then* you're* off* it's* it's*you're* you're*complete*

I did this just to point out how stupid you look.

>G'day

Yes I did.
