They can't. They need something, anything to feel something.

Maybe wear flag pins for nations and empires that don't exist anymore?

Always partial to anything the flags the "Winged Hussars" rode into battle with. Proudly fly the flag of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1569-1795)

Sabaton-Winged Hussars Music Video. I actually fly this battle banner at home on Sept 12, because they're badass. Plus, nerdiness and Polish-ness.

(It's all so tiresome. Nationalism is so 19th-20th century anyway.)

Flags are a giant "FU, that's why". Heavily propogandized to make it so. (Pros and cons to this.)

A global airline seeking "neutral, revenue generation, all are welcome" should avoid this at all costs.

Just wear the uniform. Don't spill coffee on the tie. Maybe use the iron in the hotel every now and then? (G-dmn it, another fouled hotel iron!@#$#@)

Futurama covered neutralness. "Tell my wife, "Hello""

Depends on one's geographic location.

Barbarian nations may oppose this.

The lost IX Legion from Britannia is concerning.

Are they premium passengers?

Fantastic Post! I am taking you completely serious, hope that was your intent. Little known fact: at one time that was the largest country in Europe, sadly it completely disappeared form the year above until WWI. And then again literally during WWII, and essentially during the Soviet era. But just under 200 years later, the Rebirth; Lietuva and Polska forever!

Forgive me if this has already been said. Technically speaking, Palestine isn't a country. Despite several opportunities to obtain statehood they have declined. Palestine remains a political and hyper politicized body of people and a Palestinian pin is not a tribute to a country but rather a political statement. Therefore, Delta is in its full right to deny such controversial pins.
