You burn an American flag in our state, you get beat up. No questions.

My Boy Scout Handbook said that old, worn flags should be disposed of by burning them.

My Boy Scout Handbook said that old, worn flags should be disposed of by burning them.

The difference between honourable disposal and dishonourable protest is quite readily discerned.

This is true, you can take an old US Flag to the local Boy Scout troop for retirement. They have a nice ceremony. They and the US military are the only ones "legally" allowed to perform the ceremony. (So I learned at scout camp.)
