We don't know why the flag owner did what he did or whether he was given an opportunity to atone. So, all we have is that the Vet stood up for the stars and stripes. Is that enough to give him the moral high ground, without knowing anything else about what happened?

Typical liberal, empty-headed, pretentious arguments.
The bar owner knew full well what he was doing when he placed the Mexican flag over OUR flag. If you think otherwise, I've got some garbage dump in Tijuana I would be happy to sell to you.
It is one thing to have to put up with criminals in other countries stomping on our flag, burning it, spitting it on it. Hell if we are going to put up with it here.
Whether the action of the bar owner were legal or not is not the point. Flying the flag of HIS country over the flag of OUR country is big "f**k you gringos!"
If you want to bend over and let barbarians get over the gate, fine. You do it.
I think that there are enough people who, thank God, won't let it happen.
