I agree as Officers set the tone, but Senior NCOs are the enforcers as well. I have felt some of the Evangelicals hate when I was in.
The reason most Americans hate flag burning is, because they view the burning of their flag as the burning of their ideas and freedom. The flag represents some to people, but again this is my point of view from observation. If people want to burn the flag, that is their choice and their freedom to do so.

I've always found it strange that Americans tend to react strongly to flag burning, as if a person is being burned alive or something. "They burned our flag!!!" Actually, if they bought it, it's their flag.
Then I wonder if it's down to that creepy brainwashy Pledge thing they sometimes show kids being forced to do in American TV shows, assuming shools genuinely do do that to the children sometimes.
In the middle east Stars and stripes flag shops do a roaring trade according to amount I see getting burned over there.
Do you think that the trouble in the middle east comes down to flag sellers stirring things up so they can sell some flags?
I wouldn't put it past unscrupulous business men.
