J,

Those t-shirts etc are not flags.  They are representations or pictures of flags.  Much the same as the flag patch worn on military uniforms.

Beg to differ Haz.  The section I posted specificlly calls out uniform patches.  Flag t-shirts are some of what they were describing as inappropirate in the Title.

 Sure, Title 4 really doesn't have any enforcement but I have never thought a shirt with a flag on it is appropriate, based simply on the way most of us treat our clothing.  There is a large debate in the railroading,mainly modelers, about Union Pacific's current "Bulding America" paint scheme.

It looks good but unfortunately engines don't get washed very often so some of them are almost black with dirt/soot, including the flag.  It's also in the Title.  Somewhere I have a picture of one that the majority of the engine is REALLY dirty but someone has at least cleaned the flag portion on both sides.  Those flags BTW are about 8ft tall and 12 foot long

My opinion is that if they are offended by the american flag they can move their collective asses to mexicon and take the principle with them.this  is AMERICA after all. im fed up with the pandering to immagrants,cant do this or that ,that is patriotic,things this country is built on.screw em if they dont like our ideals ,go back where they came from,if they want to embrace our ideals they are welcome to stay...simple.

4,900 gallons at $3.05 a gallon = $14,945.00 to "Fill 'er up".         Bill T.

Yup, and UP has 1800 of that model alone running around the country, over 8500 total units, most have a similar size tank.  UP's operating revenue is over 4 BILLION
