@express_town@allengarvin@ASFleischman And, to be completely honest, a member of your tribe said one of those things and a member of the tribe you oppose said the other.
@Thoth379@mattvanswol If you decide to fight, you’ll get your ass kicked if you’re lucky and put up against a wall and shot if you aren’t.
Sit this one out, Sparky.

@merelyjwright@DonutsMama We’ve gone from “I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” to a pastor who doesn’t live in the state in which Tallerico is running being terrified of him.

As an active Scouting leader it's important for me to address the comments under this amazing display of civic service by Troop 36.
First of all, they are doing nothing wrong. The US Flag Code is the only guidance that matters. Everything else is either tradition or opinion. Comments like these are exactly why Scout units do not want to do these ceremonies; because people who know nothing, but are strongly confident in their ignorance, come charging in to berate them.
Which brings me to point 2: why do so many people feel like they need to try and beat down these kids who are taking time from their weekend to perform a critical civic duty? Does it really make you feel stronger to ignorantly yell at children? Are you doing it because you feel like you need more attention than they do?
Third... Are you volunteering? Are you performing these ceremonies at your VFW or other veterans group? Or are you just yelling from the sidelines like so many love to do. Feel free to volunteer yourself, it's cheap and easy to do so. You have a chance to improve the experience for both yourself and others. Are you even interested in that? Or are you only interested in using the Flag as a means to attack people and groups you don't like?
Great job Scouts. Everyone else can sit down and shut up.
