For the most part, I have nothing against somebody flying a flag. But obviously now we know what it means it’s just not something I would normally do. One of our neighbors has a flag up every other week. I have no clue why because they are not veterans or anything, but they seem to know every holiday when you’re supposed to be flying a flag. That kind of obsessiveness is just weird to me.
