LINK? Yep Saw this on Facebook. I know the rest of you guys are all opposed to Facebook because it forces users to be involved in "drama," so I thought you guys would want to see this. I didn't watch the video, just read the text. I don't disagree with a guy doing a quiet counter protest at a flag burning, but showing up in a combat shirt and "tactical" hat with an IR flag? I think I see the outline of dog tags there too. LOL. That guy is either the bootest boot in boot land, the king of the gung-ho pogues or a poserific poser. (Maybe he's that one Multicam guy from Arfcom's gear forum.) <a href="http://s20.photobucket.com/user/fightinghellfish/media/Screen-Shot-2015-07-02-at-3.02.24-AM-620x348_zpsrp1sivqz.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b250/fightinghellfish/Screen-Shot-2015-07-02-at-3.02.24-AM-620x348_zpsrp1sivqz.jpg</a> Maybe he likes the shirt, hell I fucking like it. Who gives a damn what he wears. It's not like he is wearing ACUs without or missing tabs and shit. He isn't degrading the military or the flag. And from what I see he is the only one standing there opposing these motherfuckers. |

To hell with the flag burners! This guy has a uniform violation! Op sounds like some of my old First Shirts. Maybe he can give us a quick Powerpoint, you know just to enlighten everyone "outside the frame of reference".... For what its worth, this tread makes more sense when you read some posts in this mans voice:

going to a flag burning to uphold the flag. The regulation was clearly written to prevent service members from endorsing candidates for office or trying to get legislation passed while in uniform. How the hell can you really think "making sure there's still an American flag" left standing is political speech? The guy made a stand for something worthwhile. Yeah, he looks stupid. So what. While we were all sitting around arguing on our computers he did something worthwhile. |

It's most definitely political speech. Shit, he literally presented a prepared speech about his motivations. I'm not sure what you consider to be the definition of political speech, it's not a bad or unvirtuous thing. |

We need a sticky for GD approved clothing. Perhaps an ARFCom line of approved apparel so we can all be wearing non-tactical but still tactically cool clothes. I'm still not sure what hat I can wear out. A fedora? Noooo. A ball cap? Only if worn without a straight brim, and I still can't remember what logo is ok today. Cowboy hat? Definitely not cool. Unless in Texas or Oklahoma. And not allowed indoors. Or is indoors ok? Flags? Yes and no. Not IR and must be flown forward. I just love this assault on a vet standing his ground because his dress wasn't on the approved list.

Right on. Its good to see, I personally dont care what he is wearing. I fucking like his messge. You POS can burn all the flags you want, when you go back to your cave to do bong loads or what ever, this flag will remain flying high. Good for him and the other counter protesters. Bears repeating, especially for all you perfect veteran fashion mogels, and boot/moto bashing old salts. I say he's got the guts and the high ground. |

Alright, well we should definitely smoke this guy then. Let's bring him back on AD and charge him for putting up a US flag at a flag burning rally while he was wearing parts of a uniform. After all, the regs say it, so we have to follow them no matter what. There's a box that needs a check in it, so goddammit, let's put a check in it! Seriously though yes, the guy was trying to make a point...one that he could BETTER make if it was clear to everyone that he was a veteran, which I think is why he wore the uniform. IMO something like this is NOT why that regulation was written. It was not written to prevent guys from respecting the flag while in uniform while other people around them disrespect it. |

Progress depends on the unreasonable man. Doubtless there are many better-dressed veterans who are busy not doing counter-protests.
