In my world those responsible for this would be sitting on the curb with a box containing their personal effects by 8 am

What gets me seeing red is when they take an American flag and turn it into the fag flag.

I see what you did there.

“The VA said service flags were put back up before the end of the business day”

Oh. Well...that's okay then.

to serving all Veterans equally.

Then there was no need to replace the flags, as you limited it to just those who identify with Gay Pride, and thus failed in your attempt to serve all veterans.

I noticed the same thing and also want to emphasize this wording: "...we chose to remove all of [the military flags] for one day in order to show our dedication to serving all Veterans equally."

To show their supposed "dedication to serving all Veterans equally," they "chose to remove" all the military flags.

“Logistically, we could not add a flag without removing a flag from the poles outside our VA. Rather than single out one military branch’s flag to be temporarily replaced with the LGBT flag, we chose to remove all of them for one day in order to show our dedication to serving all Veterans equally.”

Well here’s a novel idea, don’t fly the fag flag.... Problem solved.

But instead, they insult tens of millions of normal veterans to pander to the .001% of the degenerates.

You mean the flag that displays God’s promise to the world not to destroy it?

God's promise has seven colors. The number of perfection.

Perversity flag has six colors. The number of imperfection.

Did anyone try to remove & burn it?

Of course not. Do tell.

..it may have been a local thing or the media would have been harping on it since yesterdays

I doubt it. My local VA have 2 8x10 large print posters taped to the admittance wall, nothing else is up, just these 2 posters talking about supporting LBGT Transgender people. I see these and get the impression they are more important than I am in the VA, if only I $****D D*** then I could go to the head of the line.

In seriousness, I landed my lowly Army rotary on many a Navy ship. Always treated me right, and it was nice to have A/C.

Careful, ‘they’ will certify you as a Liberal for ‘thinking’ like ‘them’. <: <: <:

Straight from the VN ‘era’, we must destroy the city to save it.

I'd remembered the same line.

Your post reminds me of the original article, which I visited mainly because I was looking for pictures and comments. I don't see comments, but there are pictures of both the usual flag setup (down the page) and the one aberration (at the top)--four empty flagpoles and one "pride" flag, almost looking forlorn.

The unintentional visual effect would almost be amusing if the message in the contrast weren't so alarming: five "proud" military flags replaced, even for only part of a day, by a single "pride" one.

The VA administrator is an idiot. He should be fired immediately.
