Officials Uniform Problems

[tomegun]

I don't necessarily like wearing a flag and I would think I have earned the right to wear one or not. Trust me when I tell you, what someone wears does not mean they are willing to support that symbol until the end. I came across countless people in the military that have more business being in jail than serving the country. And some of the people I talk about are high-ranking officials.

If someone doesn't want to wear the flag, they shouldn't wear it.

I will need those retirement checks to keep coming though.

I wear the flag with gold trim on my left shoulder because my Association told me it was part of my uniform. End of story for me. If they tell me next year to take it off, then that's what I would do.

But, as have others, I served my country proudly for a great many years and am honored to wear it.

I did too, but IMO a flag is a symbol. My contributions, a fraction of a fraction of the big picture, directy contributed to the safety of this country. That is what I wear (figuratively of course).
