right to mouth off. mouth off all you want just do not burn the flag

Burning the flag, as distasteful to me as it is, is symbolic mouthing off.

tell all those guys who recovered the flag while they were losing a hill or raising the flag after taking a hill

They were fighting for the First Amendment, along with the rest of the Constitution. There are enough exceptions to the First Amendment, believe me. If someone wants to be an asshole and burn the flag to show what an asshole they are, let em. That way I can mark that guy as an asshole and avoid him in the future. ;)
