almost

I almost agree with the first amendment issue.
There was a friend of mine who once was talking with a newspaper editor about flag burnings.
The editor said that flag burning was permitted under the "Freedom of Speech".
My friend replied, "Yes, however the Bill of Rights is to protect you from the government, not from me. If someone burns the flag in front of me I'll take them out."
My gut feeling is these guys (stolen valor a$$holes) should be handled at the local level by veterans and not let it become an issue for the courts.
The courts have enough to do.
