Brave men and women fought for our country to have the rights we current enjoy and to protect our freedoms!! Burning the flag is not disrespectful but an act of treason and should be dealt with accordingly.
I fight for this country for our rights, and I believe the 1st Amendment to be the most important one. If for some reason America turns it's back on me after my service, I feel I should have the freedom to have a BBQ. The reason China and Russia are at the place that they are now is because they limit Free Speech and lock up people just for speaking out about their countries. If we can't talk about the things we think make America better or worse openly in any way we like, then it ain't America.
Don't tread on my rights to burn my own property.
