Good thread chief.
I am an ex-Navy man myself and served in the Panamanian, and Desert Storm wars. The flag is a symbol of our freedom, and this very freedom we as Americans love and cherish, has been bought with the blood of our countrymen for over 238 years.
A flag should never be used as, or worn as clothing for an individual. A representation of the flag could be worn as a shirt, but wearing the American flag for trousers is a bit over the top and not to mention disrespectful. It's a shame to read some of the posts in this thread. This should not be a polarizing discussion.
The realism of the game seems to diminish some when we see avatars sporting the flags of other countries on their trousers. I understand WGT is looking for revenue, but this was a little distasteful on WGT's part. I'm sure if WGT would rearrange the avatar outfit, it should show to be more satisfying to some of the members at WGT.
If members would Google the "American flag" they would see proper protocol for our Stars and Stripes.
God bless our men and women in uniform.
