[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1370100, member: 18945"] Done the 24/7 flak jacket and lead thing. I don't feel spat out when anyone exercises their constitutional right to protest. Rights are worthless if not used and I don't have to agree with the way they are used, but would far prefer they be used than not used, and not even a USMC Col (ret) gets to dictate how or when any individual uses those rights. I tend to take a very long view of such things, and have to wonder, just how many of those lauding the Col's remarks will still support the emblem of our nation when this "govt of the people" takes away all their semiauto firearms and anything with a magazine holding more than a few rounds. Don't delude yourself--that day IS coming, and on that day, many here will proclaim that the Flag no longer represents the country it purports to. Yes, Old Glory still flies behind my house on it's flagpole, but there is a point, at which it will be hauled down and not raised again until the ship is righted. It just all depends on whose ox is being gored. Keep in mind, this country has already twice trampled the flag that represented it--or at least a great many did. We once lived under the Union Jack until we trampled it in the ground at places like Valley Forge and less than a century later, about half this country raised the Stars and Bars and fought against the American flag.
