But being its come to national attention - I sure hope the bar owner puts his Mexican flag up there again, I want to see his store over run with a thousand plus angry vets tearing the whole friggin flag pole down on his store. And if they choose to put this vets ass in jail, its only going to fester the wound. Mexicans better get it straight, flying their flag in disrespect to the country they are coming to partake of ain't going to win over any hearts and minds.
Why do you assume that vets, specifically, have a tendency to despise free speech and property rights? Do you know a lot of vets personally?
