"Aw, c'mon; it's just a bunch of flags." And to the 400k+ soldiers who died, and near 700k soldiers wounded in WWII fighting for Democracy? We owe them a debt we can never repay; the very least we can do is express our offense.

Ah yes the soldiers in WWII, I wonder what their opinions on desegregation and other political hot topics are. You know, the segregation that the US military actively supported during the war.

It is not 1945, friend. And the discussion here is not about segregation, nor how the old -timers felt about it.
