Putin mocks U.S. embassy for flying rainbow flag

[AProudLefty]

I see it. I agree with Prophet that no other flag other the U.S. Flag should be flown at an Embassy. Or any Federal installation. Other than if it is military branch colors.

So you think we shouldn't express anything?

[Sailor]

We do. The United States of America. All as one. That flag already says it all and has a history of doing it.

The American flag has always been flown there. Nothing changes.

And it always will. Any other flag should not be alongside it at a federal installation. Other than the exceptions I mentioned above. States, towns, cities, etc can feel free to fly whatever they want. As long as the U.S. Flag is the highest. That is after all the one flag that actually sheds the tears of blood that built this nation. The rest are just political statements.

You said we can express anything and we have a history of it. So if we display any flag besides our flag and Putin has a problem with it, he can go fuck himself.

Russia needs to go away.

I could care less about Putin and what he thinks. I could care less what an individual state or municipality flies as long as the U.S. Flag is higher than the rest. I do care what is flown on Federal installations. After all, when are military are sent home in coffins they are not draped with the gay pride flag or anything else. There is an obvious reason for that.

Gay flag?

*sighs*

Oh. What PC thing am I supposed to say? The American flag encompasses all walks of life in this country. Everything, everybody. Really no reason for anyone to try and make themselves more special than the next.

The coffins/caskets are always draped in USA flags. Why must you dishonor them?

How in the HELL am I dishonoring them? Where in the HELL did you get that from? Please, be specific. If I wrote something that is being misconstrued, I want a chance to correct it.

Okay. I apologize if I misunderstood you. But you did say this....

What does that even mean?

It means the U.S. Flag they are under already took into account whatever background they had. As an American, it was already accepted. And to push that further, those that do not come home understand that, and for all others too also.
The military has every type of person...ever. They do not make it about themselves or their preferences. They make it about America and Americans as one.

Correct. They joined as Americans. The come back as Americans.

Now shit .... I don't want to cry. They have been fighting for our freedom, including themselves.

Exactly. You have a good day brother. Talk with you soon.

Are we supposed to care?

You don't care about LBGTQ?
