Yeah, Right On!
Only Communist liberal Fashists would find wearing the flag design in any form anything but a statement of pure patriotism...
I find the above images offensive, but I understand that patriotism is about meaning, not symbols.
The flag is not as important as as the values it represents.
Cheers

If you ever wear one, I think you'll find that most of the traveling public thinks they're very nice.
At least 5-10 comments every day I wore one. Then Mesa said that being patriotic is an offense punishable by termination.
I've flown with men and women from the Armed Forces who both wear and say that they like patriotic ties.

Lately I’ve noticed a certain pilot group flying for UAL out of STL and ORD wearing ties that represent the US Flag. Not only does it look tacky, it’s a violation of US Code of Flag Etiquette: ‘The flag should never be used as wearing apparel”.
Am I the only one that finds this disrespectful?
