That is the passive-aggressive part.

Now we all realize that the story is about Neil Armstrong and what he and his family went through. But planting the American Flag on the moon is a significant part of that story. It is like showing a picture of Paris with the Arc de Tromp or the Eiffel Tower edited out of it.
Bad analogy.

Wish we could get back to the movie rather than the phony patriotism which often stirs up these kind of fights. The US Constitution is what represents the greatness of this country and not someone just waving some flag. And usually for ulterior motives.
