Phony patriotism...really. I was brought up to always display the flag and when I was in the Navy we displayed flags whenever appropriate. I haven't seen anyone waving the Constitution. I also see people standing with hands over their hearts for God Bless American and Lee Greenwood as if those songs are our National Anthems....we have lost our direction on how we judge patriotism when the display of our flag can be construe our respect for our dilution of our National Anthem as phony patriotism. Also, I didn't view the movie incomplete because the flag wasn't displayed, it was about the personal sacrifices of the people, the risks taken by the people and the personal impacts....I didn't see it as a National story.
