Take your Oath, DA and you will know what it means. Natural born citizens don't take oaths, they pledge or better they are tought to pledge. If you do take the oath, you will know what it means. There might be hundreds more in the room, but it is between you and the flag only.

I agree and that's the problem with flags sometimes. People often use them to put others in difficult spots, like support the war or you're anti-American. That's partly why I'm not a huge flagman myself.
I did take the oath, and I'm aware the flag represents much more than support for some stupid war. Unfortunately it seems not everyone thinks that way.
