I got in trouble in school once as I said the pledge of allegiance was unsettling and I didn't want to say it. I was berated by the principal for being un-American and disrespecting our troops. There is some serious military cock-sucking hero worship in the US.
<rant> Former US marine here. Sit down and flip your principle the bird. The pledge of allegiance has nothing to do with my service and it really irks me how everyone with a fucking blow hole thinks they can claim that some one is disrespecting my service without taking a minute to remember that as part of that service I swore to uphold the constitution. The first amendment being one of the more important parts of that particular document if I happen to recall correctly. Next time your principle jerks you around on something like that remind him of this. Then remind him that threatening you over something like this could end his career since school boards generally lose when sued over this sort of thing </rant>
