in this country to respect another country's flag...and not standing in THAT country when the flag is presented.

And i'm sure that if you were in iran, or yemen, or north korea or somalia or mexico and the flag was presented, you would sit pridefully and unapologetically in disrespect for their country and traditions.

That is not a question, just an assumption.

Again, thank you, thank you, thank you.
