Do soldiers fight for a flag, or what it represents?
Discuss.

Every man and woman who wears the uniform of the US military swears an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. The flag is a symbol of this great nation so yes they fight for what the flag represents.Originally Posted by Thing1

your brain is dead
they fight for the people
when they breathed their last breath they did not imagine the flag
they imagined the people they fought for
wives , daughters, sons, brothers
the flag is a piece of cloth
you must be a russian RM

They are intertwined and inseparable. The flag represents our nation. Both are honored.
Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

As a former soldier, I would say for what it represents! Freedom of the press, freedom to worship or not at all, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom to protest and petition, to name a few!

Ken nailed it. That cartoon is perfect.
The whole NFL debate reminds me of when the right was pushing for a flag-burning amendment to the Constitution. Essentially, undermining core American values in the name of "protecting" America. Very backwards.

People have the right to act like idiots and people have the right to face consequences.

Of course. But the people doling out the consequences should ask themselves why they needed to make what Kap did about the flag, instead of talking for even a minute about what his protest was actually about.

i can't speak for every idiot in the nation, but I haven't seen many if any people say that they didn't have a right to sit. they just disagreed with it.

According to anatta, soldiers fight for GDP growth and/or the will of oligarchs. Human rights aren't a factor, for example. Because realpolitik.

Where have you been? That's basically the 1st thing Trump said, and his minions all followed. They were immediately very concerned about the NFL enforcing their own private rules & preventing the players from kneeling.
