home depot sucks

Thats about where i stand. The real question is, is the guy who got fired less of an american without his button? If so, he's got bigger issues to deal with then just getting fired.

Exactly. The only reason there is a stink about this is because of a Religious aspect of it. I dont think its the matter of it being a American Flag issue.
I have to wear company shirts here at work. That is what is stated in the Employee Handbook. If I choose to wear my 1988 Motley Crue shirt because I think the Crue is cool and everyone should know it...and I get told I cant wear it..and I argue it... I broke company policy. I get fired. Its buisness folks. Try not to throw political/religious backing into a mere dress code violation and a stubborn employee. We have larger things to worry about... like Jon and Kate.
