When I say those officials wearing flags is demeaning, I admit that it’s a bold statement. But that it is my honest opinion. ...

The problem I have with this statement is that you want to
speak for the millions who have served. To me that
falls under the heading of "demeaning". Better you would
have just said "it demeans my accomplishments as one who
did serve". Beyond that, the term "patriotic organization"
goes completely undefined. An organization is patriotic if
the members are patriots (duh). Wearing a flag emblem
on your uni goes a long way towards demonstrating your
patriotic nature. Bottom line: if you don't want to wear
the d@mn flag, don't wear it. Don't demean me by demanding
I hold the same view, and certainly don't wave your status
as a vet to add additional weight to your opionion. Before
I go outside & excersize me freedom to fly a kite I'll leave
you with a quote I stole from a really bright young guy I
know:

"Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on."

-- Winston Churchill
