It was bad enough when those idjits at Apple saw fit to do it for that draft-dodging hippie, Steve Jobs. I don't really expect them to know any better anyways, and it was just at Apple locations, so they only shamed themselves.
Now I see that the Governor of The Garden State has ordered that my flag be flown at half staff in 'honor' of some dead Hollyweed junkie. That's just too much! The Commandant of the Guardians of Freedom in The Great State of New Jersey ought to know better than to dishonor the flag and everyone who has ever fallen beneath it in such a manner! Everyone I know who has ever had those colors lowered for them has paid for the honor with his own blood. It is not an honor to be taken lightly, and to do so is to dishonor all the true heroes who have paid the highest price, their widows and their children, as well as all their brothers in arms! He might as well just spit in their graves! I don't care how many vintage computers you have sold or how many patriotic songs you may have sung, The American flag only drops for those who drop for it!!!
 
Yeah, I'm going to have to agree with you, T.

That honour should be reserved for those men and women who gave their lives in defense of their country or in a selfless act of heroism while attempting to save the life of someone they didn't even know.

Politicians, "celebrities", snake oil salesmen and other such folks need not apply.

Reserve the honour for those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
