Is this a shooting range for people with poor eyesight? Could this guy hit a barn from 100 meters?

Meters?

I don’t know how much outrage can be made over this considering our own U.S. Supreme Court allows people to disrespectfully and unceremoniously burn the American flag.

A member of Iran's army shoots with his rifle towards the U.S. flag ... demonstrating to the world just how BAD their marksmanship must be if he has to AIM to hit a flag at 5-7 meters.

Zero will be on the first plane over there to apologize to the Iranians! Not to worry. If he can’t go, he’ll send Hitlery so she can sooth them with her giggle.

they’ve had a US flag painted on their parade training ground since Khomeini

Imagine how satisfied these pistachio munchers feel when they walk over a picture of our flag in their German made boots

The flag is painted on streets for cars to run over and people to walk on every day. It’s on the floor or ground on univ. campuses so students have to walk on it.
Some do their best to walk around it.

Neither.

Dogs are disgusting and unclean, and there is a prohibition in some circles against depicting things created by God.

And think about how silly that hat would look perched on top of his keffiyeh. It would be an affront to everything holy.

This was written by a good friend of mine, who has since escaped Iran.

“I have never walked on your flag, I have never burnt it.
I said once, they painted your sacred flag on the entry of the campus I go! I swear I have never walked on it, I jumped over in winter on ice, in fall in rainy days, in summer.
What or who forced me to jump? you? your government? your movies? your culture? I doubt - it was me, my mind!
The respect you pay to your flag forced me to do so.

I hung one flag of the USA and one former flag of Iran on the wall of my room.
I just hope that you understand this kind of feeling and I should say, this is not inside me only, I know many people here who act the same as I do.”
