They didn't know the significance of the U.S. Flag

A week ago I posted the story of someone setting fire to U.S. Flags which lined the yard of a family who had just lost a son serving in Iraq. Now, we hear that the vandals were caught. What really caught my attention was this one sentence:

The boys apparently did not know the significance of the flags they took from the yard and set afire under a car belonging to the soldier's sister-in-law.

Two teenagers and they don't know the significance of the American Flag? But I bet their school taught them all sorts of other crap. I don't know what you do with these punks but horse whipping is a good start.
