I'm not ex-military, but my son served in Iraq with the Army Reserve. I believe that, like one poster said, our flag certainly HAS been through a lot moor than just some exhaust soot. BUT to NOT attempt to remedy the situation is, to me, an example of a low-class individual.
We don't ask that the flag be respected because of the material it's made from. We ask, as Americans, that the flag be respected not because of what it physically is or isn't; we ask for respect for the flag in honor of those who have served under that flag, who have given arms, legs, various other body parts, and even their very lives for what the flag represents.
While our freedoms have diminshed a great deal over the past few years, we still have more freedoms than most nations on Earth. The men--and women--who have sacrificed for those freedoms are represented by that flag. By disrespecting the flag, we disrespect their sacrifices.
Sure, it may "only" be a piece of cloth, and it may "only" be a little soot, but what is important is what that flag represents...and THAT does not ask for, but it DEMANDS respect...respect that has been earned by the blood of patriots over the course of 233 years and counting.
