Then you can buy a clue about how much protest goes on in the US, and yes, students don't have to stand for the pledge (though in some places they catch some shit), and yes, again, many people are allowed to complain about the military. Just where, exactly, do you live, as regards a country?

I live in Arizona, need I say more? We are basically a wannabe Mississippi. Here is a common example: Someone burns the American flag. It is well within their right because of the 1st amendment and the Supreme Court even ruled it is a right. However, many far righties believe that it should be illegal to burn it because it is sacred to them. When in reality it is not a flag we should be loyal to; however the idea of freedom that is what people should be loyal to. It's just a flag. Or those people who say "I FOUGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY I SHOULD BE ABLE TO DICTATE HOW PEOPLE USE THOSE FREEDOMS I GAVE THEM". Yes I hear many say this who have served in the armed forces.

Another Arizonan? Dude. Dude. There several of us, apparently.

And I agree that we take it too far. It’s childish.
