it s no secret teens growing up in america are better off than any other country on earth. so why does so many young people find it cool to hate the united states of america? from the florida fraternity members caught spitting on disabled vets to the eric shepherd challenge stomping on the stars and stripes. a major clothing retailer selling this disrespectful depiction of old glory, an upside down flag. pacific sun wear has promised to pull it off the shelves but is that enough to make this anti-american trend go away. let me tell you something, we both served. i m proud to be an american. i wear american shirts that aren t american flags but they look like it. i wore this yesterday in times scarequare. can you tell tell me why others think it s cool to spit and stomp on the flag?
