Wrapped in the American flag

I googled images of soldiers returning home in caskets wrapped in the flag, but my tech skills suck. I could not copy and paste here.
But to me, as a “veteran”, the ONLY Patriots deserving of being wrapped in our flag are those returning soldiers. Men and women that actually sacrificed for this country.
Seeing those mouth breathing ass sores, men and women storming our democracy to execute leaders, wrapped in flags, is more sickening than Middle East Terrorists burning the damn flag chanting, “death to America”. Those fucking maggots should have been shouting the same, “Death to America”. That is their mission.
Feel free to post images of our returning soldiers for a visual emphasis here, and I thank you for doing so.

The desecrate The Flag and the noble principles it represents. The veterans among them learned nothing from their service about honor and did not keep their oaths. To me that makes them worse than the ignorant traitors that they marched with. I joined the service under duress, (the draft) but when I swore the oath, I really meant it, I still mean it, and I will go to my grave meaning it.

The bastards marched with MY flag alongside the flag of the Confederacy, and I damn them for it.

(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery.

(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.

(j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.
