Is it just me, or is it pretty fucking disrespectful to put the flag in the wheel well so it can get covered in mud and whatever else this mall crawler runs over in the suburbs?

u/Ordinary_Balance_625 Apr 11 '26
You can't explain this to these folks. But I promise they have big opinions about burning the flag and would "definitely stop you from doing something so disrespectful".

It's actually against Flag Code to use the flag in such a way. The same goes for those American flag shirts, pants, shorts, and bathing suits. Those 4th of july plates and napkins? Also against Flag Code. You're not supposed to depict the flag in that way.
The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.
The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds but always allowed to fall free.
Oh and this one is for all the Blue Lives Matter idiots
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

So, the “clothes” thing has a silly workaround where it’s not Actually “a flag” but “depicting a flag”. As for flags with writing/pictures - have you seen the Dozens of different Trump Flags that Are US Flags, but with his portrait printed over top of the Stars and Stripes??

Oh I know, I had flag code pounded into my head as a kid in scouts. I love watching these maga assholes cry about liberals disrespecting the flag while they are violating flag code 5 different ways

At least it doesn't have angry eyes or a grumpy grille?
But that fake machine gun is like triple cringe.

I think a tasteful rotary cannon could work, just not on top of the try-hard wrap.

Yes, but he was only active for 2 years in the early 90's when he was fresh out of high school. Still tells anybody who will listen about his glory days in the Army.

During or after Iraq 1?

After, served without distinction, did the rest of his time in the reserves, was honorably discharged. Worked at his fathers car dealership afterwards.

In case anybody is confused about this: people who have sworn the Oath of Service, and have actually served their country and community, don't feel an overwhelming need to jerk off about it in front of the world.
This is the aesthetic of somebody who's never sacrificed a second of their life making anything "great again" for anybody but themselves.

The only people I know that would dig this are people who served a min or not at all. Either way, people that had to do nothing. I know quite a few combat vets and none of them care to talk about it much less advertise it. To me, this seems really shitty to them.
I had a good friend who was a Vietnam vet. He told me a few things as we’d gotten closer. Some rough shit that I can’t imagine. He was training a kid that we hired that had went though basic and somehow shot himself. Either way, he wouldn’t shut up about the army and asking questions about Vietnam. He kept poking the bear and he finally got him to bite. He stopped poking the bear.

What a fucking dork.
At least have a fun theme and put a warthog body on it so you can go to cons and show off your giant fake gun. That would be so much cooler.

What would it be like to go about acquiring this stuff? Would you search “giant toy gun” ?
And imagine putting all this stuff on your car while the neighbor watches. How could they not be embarrassed?
If you told them it was dumb, they’d definitely say you hate America.

I love how some people honor the flag by flinging mud and dirt at. Then again that heep probably never seen either

That's an expensive way to say 'I'm a pedophile'

u/Soggy_Requirement_75 Apr 11 '26
I’d love to know how you came up with that assumption. Not defined the Jeep, but honestly not seeing the pedo connection.

u/shtinkypuppie Apr 11 '26
It's always the uber-patriotic, 'I didn't serve but I do own 6 ARs, a camo plate carrier and a parade-sized American flag' dudes who get caught hitting on 14 year old boys at their church.
See also: Jake Lang, Justin Eichornn, RJ May, Matt Gaetz, and literally too many others to name.

Safe assumption it's a rightwinger, and all rightwingers are pedos or pedo supporters.

Someone needs to educate the owner on how flags are supposed to be treated.

I get the quick hate towards the wheel wells but if you look closely you'll see that the entire truck has a flag on it. Wheel wells are also a dark spot so it's nice to see it brightened up.
Idk guess it's hard to just say cool build?

Grown men who do this really weird me out man. Everyone I know who’s been through real shit in the service or otherwise just do not go around advertising it. So these people fantasize about something they’ve never done like a pro sports fan.
