Doesn't read like it was really all about the flag...

Maybe I'm an idiot or maybe it's my military background but......when your boss says do something and you don't do it, don't be surprised if you get a disciplinary action.

But I know that racist thing CANNOT be true; I mean, this is UP NORTH we're talking about, where racism has never existed because everyone is so loving and tolerant.

I get a little wary of the patriotic card (and I'm a vet) just like I get wary of the read the Bible/prayer card (and I'm an evangelical Christian) argument. (Although I do think it would be funny if one of the stickers was a pro-gay marriage pink equals sign - all of a sudden the whole coverage would change).

They were told to remove all decals, not just the flag ones. I like the flag, but I'm not losing my job over it.

Re: Firefighters suspended for refusing to remove the US flag from their helmet & loc

I think we've had similar discussions about flags, banners, posters, etc., displayed on various properties. The one redeeming fact about this one is that all stickers had to be removed, not just certain ones that someone might have found offensive.
What's good for one is good for all. Since "all" is at what this policy is directed, then I have no objections. So be it.
