Meh - it was a British reviewer's reaction to the shot.
We don't feel the same way about our flag, and the veneration and symbolism of the Stars & Stripes can come across as at best unsettling and at worst cheesy to us.

Typical that "we saved them in WWI and WWII" popped up almost immediately in the comments section though... What on earth has that to do with the fact a foreign reviewer isn't stirred by a foreign flag?

Is there an equivalent of Godwin's Law for mention of Americans saving the world in the wars?
