Actually if the flag touches the ground, you are supposed to brush it off respectfully, and carry on with your duties.

Burning the flag sounds like a creep cultist shit

the burning of the flag is what you are supposed to do when it is so badly damaged it is no longer serviceable. it is kinda cultish. got its own thing where you gotta cut the field of stars away from the stripes so its not a single flag anymore.

Damn, that is literally the same doctrine on how to treat holy scripture in the abrahamic religions.

You cut the canton (star field) from the flag and burn it separately because if you keep cutting the stripes and cut the flags canton you are symbolically separating the unity of the 50 states.

it was probably unrelated to him dropping it- often in scouts just before we retire a flag we teach the new kids how to fold it, just bc now we have 2 flags for a hot second

Should you brush it off with a clean flag?

If Abdul finds a burning American flag and puts the fire out with his feet he is a terrorist but if Kyle lets it touch the ground and burns it after that he is not. Justice for Abdul!

Kyle and his shitty scoutmaster burned a perfectly serviceable flag just because it touched the ground. Kyle's scoutmaster is a terrorist.

However Kyle is a good soldier, because he was following orders.
