Just a flag to some. To other a symbol of freedom, and a rallying point.
I know a lot about military history, not everything, but a lot. I can't think of one clear cut example of a battle being won because of a flag, unless it's a white flag of surrender. Battles are won by strength and resolve, strategy and tactics. I agree that a flag can instill morale and strengthen resolve, but more battles are won without a flag being seen. This is an argument that will go on and on, and I'm not about to change anyones opinion on this. I'm just sticking up for something I believe to be a privilage (they aren't really rights, since they can be taken away).
