Freedom, Fire, and Ashes

I am free to burn America's flag
    as if soldier's lives do not matter

  But should I burn down 'BLM'
    my ashes the left will scatter

So sad to realize this truth Gershon. Something wrong with this picture my friend...

"It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag who allows the protestor to burn the flag" (not sure where I first heard this quote).

That's right. It's all on the shoulders of the soldiers.
