Mitt Romney supported the Vietnam War, even demonstrating in favor of it. But when asked to put on a uniform and help defend the country he professes to love, he refused and ran away. Now he is never seen without his flag pin. For a craven coward to adorn himself with the flag desecrates it as surely as if he'd burned it.
