1. That's totally irrelevant.
First, the code is advisory, not mandatory, and has no applicability to civilians who want to wear the flag any way they choose.

Second, it's a free speech issue, not a flag rule issue.

Third, you're free to follow those rules. You're not free to impose them on anyone else.

Fourth, they should have been allowed to wear the flag, and if that led to discussions about the conflict, everyone could explain how they feel, and it would be a chance to address the issues, instead of act as if they aren't there.
