I salute my parents and others in the armed forces, and I hate the idea of flag burning as a protest, but I still couldn't support a ban.

But if someone burns a flag as part of a crime, threat or harassment ... like protesting at funerals, weddings, military homecomings, on private property, etc, then string them up.

Burning flags discredits their protest anyway. They aren't any kind of group I want to join. Besides, what if I want to respectfully retire my flag? I used to be able to burn it respectfully ... am I supposed to throw it in the trash now?
