While watching the U.S. vs Mexico World Cup qualifier match, they showed a group of U.S. soldiers who were watching the match from Iraq. They had military clothing on and they held up a Mexican flag! Shouldn't they be charged? It would be like the quarterback of your favorite team holding up a banner and cheering for the other team. He may be a lifelong fan of the other team, and accepted the position on your team so he could play the game. He has a right to support the other side on his own time - but NOT while he's representing the side that is paying him. I find this disgraceful and unacceptable behaviour for a real U.S. soldier. And if you're not real, you don't belong there. GO protect the country of the flag you wave! If it's not the U.S. flag you love, we don't want you "serving" our nation.
This is not about being at war with Mexico, nor is it about sports. It is about loyalty/patriotic issue. Again, team members do not have to be a fan of the team they play for. However, they can not ethically support another team while representing the team that pays them. Those "army people" proudly displayed a Mexican flag. That is dishonorable. Think about it, before spewing mindless PC answers.
Immigrants getting their U.S. citizenship must renounce allegiance to any other country, but U.S. military personnel are allowed to proudly wave another flag? There is no excuse for military to display another flag. Fans can display any flag they want. U.S. military can only display the U.S. flag.
