5. We need to stop sending people to die for a piece of cloth, that was most likely made in China.
Our Constitution should be our National Symbol, not some flag or cobbled together song.

I don't get this sending our kids to die in some political war of expediency somewhere as protecting our freedom. How did Korea, Viet Nam, the first Gulf War, Iraq and all those other 'conflicts' do anything to protect our freedoms? Didn't we as a nation lose freedoms in each case?
It is well past time we get our priorities straight. Stop killing brown people in other countries for fun and profit. We can't even maintain our own country any more.
