You know Bilbo..I was drafted and sent to Viet Nam. I did not believe in the war, did not want to go, had a wife and baby on the way. But I was sent by the people elected to run our government..I stepped up and did my duty. Some guys faked illness, some guys deserted and went to Canada. I never met a GI who wanted to be over there. I got a purple heart and returned home to a depressed economy and jobs tough to find. I think I know what your choice would have been, and today I meet guys who are ashamed that they chose to run and hide during those times. Well, you just go right on making fun of the real people who will man the guns, and be there when the chips are down. I suspect you are a young man who has not experienced going to a foreign country ruled by an oppressive government who would throw you in prison for uttering anything subversive. You still miss the point of this being a school in the United States and NOT Mexico. Now if you really want to offend Mexicans on that holiday..go into Mexico and wear a French flag on your shirt--but myself and my grand kids have the right to wear an American flag on our shirt in a U.S. public school....simple as that.
