Something akin to the "spirit of the rules"? Sorry, I had to.

You're exactly correct, but more importantly, like garlic, going overboard with something that's usually very beneficial, can ruin a meal or produce a disaster.

This is the same reason I don't ear a flag as well. It seems that wearing a flag poses more problems than choosing not to, so I don't.

To this day, we took him at his word. There were no investigations, no wrtten orders, no verifications we all just went along with the program, as he explained it. To most, it seemed like a good idea and still does. At that time, and since, it has caused zero problems in my chapter, that I'm aware of. Each year our Secretary/ Treasurer has a supply of little flags he sells to members (for new shirts) at about $2.-$2.5/flag. I don't agree that this display violates any intention of any flag code, and reject any suggestion that such a display is disrespectful, because I don't believe any disrespect was intended nor does anyone wearing these patches intend them to be a sign of disrespect. I'm not aware of any regulations regarding wearing the flag that were written in response to 9/11/01, and that all regulations written before that date obviously did not consider that event, so do not relate to it. I have absolutely no intention of, or interest in, persuading you to alter your perception of how, where or when to wear an American flag on your uniform, or person, nor do I have any interest in your interpretations of rules governing how, where or when I choose to wear, or display, one. |

This really isn't all that complex. If you work in an area that provides a choice, as to wearing a flag or not, then everyone can choose whether to do so, or not.
If you work in an area that madates wearing a flag, you still get to make a choice, whether or not you elect to comply with the mandate. There may be consequences to choosing non-compliance, but that's all part of choosing. The important thing to remember is that none of us are competent to make either choice for anyone else, or question the choices others might make. |
