The Supreme Court has upheld that right time and again, as well. It's not a crime to express your displeasure with Government policies on American soil. It's one of our most sacred rights and I will fight for everyone to be able to exercise that right, even if I disagree with their actions, as long as they aren't trampling on anyone else's rights when they are voicing their displeasure. Burning a flag in protest is perfectly legal; burning a building in protest is not. Yeah, that was my first thoughts when seeing this. Everyone is entitled to their rights. What I thought was a bit more interesting was that she is a Veteran. And actually, a vet. who was forced to leave the military due to her posing for playboy with dog tags and an American flag. I suppose wearing as opposed to stomping or burning the flag is viewed differently, perhaps the Military viewed her use of the flag as a drape for a photo shoot was deemed disrespectful and she was probably told not to do it but did it anyway, thereby disobeying a direct order, which merited a Article #15 hearing which caused her to lose 1pay grade down , this is mere speculation on my part,

As I said this is a non-issue with me.
