That is why you can burn it, spit on it, wear it for underwear or a tee shirt or a hat, or have American Flag Toilet Paper


The US Flag code is a set of suggestions which do not have any penalties thus lack the force of law.


As to your wrong claim that flag code was established centuries ago... well totally wrong as well. The first attempt at establishing rules of flag usage did not occur even one century ago, just in 1923. And the Federal government did not have what is now the flag code until after Pearl Harbor.


I think in today's contentious social media that there is a place for FACTS, real FACTS, not opinions stated as facts or completely untrue statements AKA lies, presented as facts.
