It is a destruction of our national unity. It shows hate for our country and disrespect to those who fought for the flag.

It doesn't matter, it's their right to express that. Whether that's why they are doing it or it's for other reasons. I served and swore to uphold and protect the constitution and the rights within whether I agree or not. It doesn't matter if I agree with their views or opinions, doesn't matter if I agree or disagree with if they should or shouldn't burn the flag or any other type of expression/speech. It doesn't infringe on anybody else individual freedoms and liberties. And if we take away people's rights simply bc we don't like or agree with what they are saying or doing then the flag loses all meaning

Take for example the case of 'Texas v. Johnson' in 1989. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that flag burning was a form of "symbolic speech", but it was a highly contentious 5-4 decision. One could argue the narrow margin… Read more

it is disrespectful to U.S. citizens and even more disrespectful to our veterans. if you are a U.S. citizen burning the country's flag you should get charged, it's as simple as that.

I think it is one of the most basic right to burn USA flag. United States of America is a country which base on huge unjustice. Like Russia it is dangerous imperialist aggressor with strict hypocrisy.
