House Armed Services Committee NDAA mandates military base flags to fly at half-staff until common sense returns to Washington
So let me get this straight—our tax dollars are now paying for a committee to debate flag protocols while our streets are burning and the border is wide open? I’m sitting here in my living room reading about the House Armed Services Committee NDAA, and they’re actually wasting time on what flagpole height we need to honor fallen soldiers. My neighbor’s kid just got deployed, and you’re telling me Congress can’t even agree on basic respect without a 1,700-page bill? Common sense says you don’t need a law to tell you to lower a flag when a hero dies—you just do it. But no, we get bureaucrats in suits arguing about “operational security” while the real crisis is that nobody in charge remembers what a backbone looks like. Next thing you know, they’ll mandate which way the coffee stirrers point at the Pentagon. Wake up, people—this is how you know they’ve lost the plot.
