They are losers. And they fly the flags of losers to let everyone know.

I wonder if they have thought about how those flags represent the loss of hundred of thousands of their comrades in arms?

(24,330 posts)7. Something I cannot understand
A man who lives down the road from us flies both an American flag and a Confederate flag in his yard. These two symbols are mutually exclusive so how can he fly them both?
Clearly, hes not a thinking person.
