Confederate flag issues aside, I am curious about where the photos were taken. The first looks like a city street in an arabic-speaking nation. The second could be anywhere, and the third one is in color, but faded color, so I assume it was taken during the Vietnam War.

What city do you live in? The reason I ask is because you seem to thing you know about loyalty and respect. Let me use an analogy...
It's like up here in Seattle. People fly the Seahawk's flag religiously (they suck by the way) but it's flown from Washington to Idaho to Oregon... It a rally point for three states that use this flag as pride in the pacific northwest.. a common thing these three states have to get them pumped up as a group "against the world".
The people who fly this Seahawks flag (who suck but the way) don't use it for anything other than pride of their region. Its purely about them and what they believe in..

It's also a symbol of rebellion and some white supremacist groups have adopted it as a symbol, which is why US troops who fly it or pose with it can find themselves in all kinds of trouble. Now, if some troopies is posing with a rainbow flag in the middle of a vicious Islamist state, well, let's just say that if I were his commander, I'd be explaining that the Muslims don't particularly care for such things and that he's just made himself a target, and maybe he'd like to think again before doing something that stupid.

Before you can do things for people, you must be the kind of man who can get things done. But to get things done, you must love the doing, not the people!

Speaking of proudly gay troops,
here's a picture that will make you want to hurl up big chunks:
This was taken at a homecoming isn't it sweet.
