J.Todd–
I’m in full agreement that this is a lousy situation and I can’t help but wonder what these government buffoons are thinking. I’m absolutely concerned about where this is leading, as well as concern for your particular situation.
Not to take away from the seriousness of this situation, I would like to say that the image of a swastika on the US flag is a bit unsettling to me. I have family that went through the concentration camps and to see the swastika placed in this manner is truly upsetting. Additionally, if you do any research, the very flag you added to your thread is the same flag used by most skinhead/racist/American neo-Nazi organizations.
I doubt you meant to offend anyone, but I hope you can understand how offensive it can be to some.
