It's ironic that Argentina and Britain, while fighting a war [albeit an undeclared one because the UN made declaring war too complicated] treated each other's flags with a lot more respect than is seen in London now. There after all is no footage of Argie nor British troops defacing or maltreating the other side's flag, rather running it down and replacing it, in the normal way victorious armies do. One has to look back to WWII, and how allied troops regarded captured Swastikas, to see dissing of an enemy flag. (though in the case of Ze Germans; they'd done a lot to earn such treatment, and worse besides [SS troops being shot with their hands up wasn't unheard of, and contextually was entirely justified)

Well said. Though the US is to blame for this politically pushed identity politics nonsense, it's good to know many Americans see it as nonsense too.
