Honestly, in all fairness, if everyone else is flying, why not us? We do more to help others than most other countries with never any assistance from anyone else, not to mention its at our own compound. Seriously, to even sya it looks like a "conquering" statement is just silly. People spend way too much time worrying about crap like this when they should be out there in the trenches helping folks out.
NOT flying it goes a long way towards helping rebuild America's international reputation, while simultaneously taking the wind out of the sails of anyone who would criticize the aid efforts of your country. It's one little gesture but if you folks don't obsess over it, then you're thumbing your noses at all the others who ARE flying their flags
