Schneed,
Agreed, I'm not to particular about this, but being military I do have respect for the Flag, and it's use. Please see below:

FEDERAL FLAG CODE:
PUBLIC LAW 94 - 344): para J:
(j) No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.
I have absolutly no problem with anyone showing support by wearing the flag, however if your going to do it, please do so properly. I'm constantly untangling flags that's been wrapped around poles at people's house, or letting them know how to display it properly (including my parents at my last home-coming party).
