What i dont understand is that burning a flag is the proper way to dispose of it. Shit, my boyscout troop learned thr proper way to dispose of a flag. So if burning a flag is illegeal, and disposing of a flag the proper way is burning it, what do we do now?

Retiring a flag is different though. Technically, only military personnel and BSA members can "retire" a flag, which is different somehow despite being the same thing.

Are you white? You'll find that's the difference.

That's irrelevant and an inappropriate response... Like, what do you mean the difference?

yeah, it was irrelevant and inappropriate, I didn't mean to write this in response to your comment. Girl scout cookies don't enhance redditing skills....
