Supervisor Asks Woman To Take Down American Flag Reporting Carol Cavazos MANSFIELD (CBS 11 News) 53;
Is it okay to show your patriotism at the office?
For one Arlington woman, the answer was "no" after she hung an American flag in her office just before the Memorial Day weekend.
Debbie McLucas is one of four hospital supervisors at Kindred Hospital in Mansfield. Last week, she hung a three-by-five foot American flag in the office she shares with the other supervisors.
When McLucas came to work Friday, her boss told her another supervisor had found her flag offensive. "I was just totally speechless. I was like, 'You're kidding me,'" McLucas said.
McLucas' husband and sons are former military men. Her daughter is currently serving in Iraq as a combat medic.
Stifling a cry, McLucas said, "I just wonder if all those young men and women over there are really doing this for nothing."

I wouldn't say the kids are doing war for nothing, Ms. McLucas. War makes for wonderful business, and why brush aside the potential of oil profits? So buck up, take down that offending flag, and ready your next round of cannon fodder. Mr. Obama despises those towel heads in Afghanistan to such a degree he'll need more troops shortly. Please, send him yours and don't forget to tell your friends and neighbors how proud you are!
