I have also read the article in the Internet publication and can assure you that there are no plans to change the regulations governing the flying of the U.S. flag on U.S. Navy warships. Federal statutes determine Navy Regulations on the flying of the national ensign on Navy vessels, and are not subject to alteration by the Department of the Navy. There was little fanfare at the airport, where the flags of the two former enemies fluttered side by side in a gentle night breeze. The official welcoming ceremony is to be held on Friday morning. Notice that Clinton was not on a Navy ship, and that the Vietnamese flag was not flown on the same pole with the US flag, nor in a superior position to the US flag.
People seem to believe anything.
We could get away with it, I guess, but then we would be no better than the republicans. Of course, that doesn't stop the Clinton-haters from circulating the lie. They don't even bother to check and see if what they are claiming is correct. The just keep on lying and lying and lying. This is what it has come to for the right wing.
