I'm the Marine who stood at attention for 3 hours in 100 degree heat in full dress uniform until I nearly passed out from heat exhaustion and dehydration. Do me the honor of reading this message I've spent the last two days preparing. https://reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/h7kehm/im_the_marine_who_stood_at_attention_for_3_hours/
This takes courage. This is what it means to respect the flag. I wish the people here to push their bullshit agendas about what they believe patriotism is would look at this thread.
