Soldiers fight everyday and night to keep our country safe and I believe thats what represented in our flag, burning our flag is disrespecting the United States.

flag burning is a fundamental form of free speech and banning it is the first step on a path that leads to an inability to criticise the government

The true symbol of peace and protection in this country is the fact it's still running. Our flag is just a symbol to delineate us from other countries.

Soldiers fight for freedom. Unfortunately, freedom is uniform. Freedom means the right to do things without fear of persecution. These soldiers are on the battlefield to fight for our right to fly the flag and burn the flag, salute during the anthem and kneel during the anthem, say under god or not, swear into public office on a Bible or Quran or anything else at all, and exercise self expression. That is what it means to be a freedom fighter of these United States.
That is not what is being represented in the flag, and in fact the ability to legally burn flags is something those soldiers have fought for and are fighting for; the concept of free speech and activism

Criticism of our country should be defended and allowed to ensure a freedom of expression. Disrespecting the military is a perfectly fine position that does not need punishment. Fostering a blindly nationalistic culture is idiotic.
