"Nationalism is an infantile disease. It's the measles of mankind."
-Albert Einstein (1926)

I'll stand with him.

There are serious differences between patriotism and nationalism.

"Patriotism:
devoted love, support, and defense of one's country; national loyalty."

"Nationalism:
loyalty and devotion to a nation; especially : a sense of national consciousness exalting one nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations or supranational groups."

“I am convinced that those societies (as the Indians) which live without government enjoy in their general mass an infinitely greater degree of happiness than those who live under the European governments. Among the former, public opinion is in the place of law, & restrains morals as powerfully as laws ever did anywhere. Among the latter, under pretence of governing they have divided their nations into two classes, wolves & sheep. I do not exaggerate.” - Thomas Jefferson

Bahhhhh

§ 8. Respect for Flag.

(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery.

I would support certain exceptions to the rule.
