If you want to be a badass

[jackslammer]

Mini, I am not commenting on your possession of these flags, and I am certainly not demeaning you for cherishing them. They are obviously an important memento of the sacrifice you and your fellow servicemen have undergone in the defence of your nation, and of the coalition forces. I still maintain that distributing them simply because they may be considered 'cool' by certain steriotypical people with no connection to the war or the armed forces is doing nothing more than diminishing the real and symbolic value that these items carry for the pilots who fought and died for your flag.

However much value a person finds in a flag can be completely independent from the war, the pilots, their beliefs, etc. it still represents the United States.

Rather or not you respect their values or however righteous you believe your value of Mini's flags are, it is not your place to judge anybody for offering or accepting an American flag.

It is also offensive to call those who value the flag as stereotypical people with no connection to the war.
