Since it actually does harm our good name and standing in the world, whereas burning a piece of cloth really doesn’t.

if it is just any type of cloth, it’s not a big deal.

The correct way to dispose of a flag is to “unceremoniously” burn it. When a flag is burned to show hatred or disrespect, that is what I have a problem with.
