The way I see it, they didn't do anything wrong. Yes we can all agree that the flag is a symbol of freedom, however it isn't the flag that makes us what we are. By what they did it shows how free we are as a country.

I would never fight for the flag, as I would fight for the country.

To me the flag is a symbol of the past of our country, and what it took for the American people to give us this freedom, and to keep us free. So I guess that for me it makes it a memorial (sp?) of what it takes to be free.
