I can't believe I am going to disagree with Andy here but here goes. Yes Wade has earned the right to salute the flag, every citizen in this country has. But he has earned the right to salute it as a civilian does, with his hand over his heart.

We in this country need citizen patriots to help fight the threats from within.

Because battling citizens that are the left leaners or flat out Socialists that think this country should be more like those tyrannical places in the world, they need to be stood up to those that feel the founding fathers need not be followed are changing this country for the worse.

The military fights the threats from outside this country. Citizen patriots fights from within.
