You Gonna Tell ‘Em Not To?

Reuters filed a photo of a Marine raising the Stars and Stripes over the port. Some time later, Marines returned and removed the flag. No reason was given, but Washington has consistently stressed that U.S. and British forces want to liberate Iraq, not occupy it.

I know that it’s proper protocol not to mount a flag when fighting a war of liberation and all, and they did the right thing, but in this case I gotta say fuck it. The Marines long ago earned the right to fly our flag wherever the hell they want.
