Let MN burn it.

No.

It’s pretty damn obvious from everything in the thread in the link that MN does not want to burn the flag, so there is no letting about it. They preserve it as a reminder of the heroism of the men who died and the men who lost almost everyone that day, who held on even though they probably expected to die themselves, because someone had to hold the line.

Everyone needs to read the info in the link.

Feel free to burn any Confederate battle flag belonging to any asshat who either embraces the racism inherent in said flag or who claims that it’s about “heritage, not hate” or anyone who has the bright idea to fly it side by side with the flag of the United States of America (do not ask me how much I see this; I live in the South and it’s a lot), but do not say what the holders of the preserved, hard won trophy of a Union regiment that was almost wiped out in defense of the the Union should do with that flag.
