Current Events: Disrespecting the Flag

The U.S. Flag Code provides a very detailed description of proper flag
etiquette; standing at attention, placing hand over heart, and/or saluting
are appropriate behaviors when honoring the flag; hugging the flag
is not on that list (image from Know Your Meme).
