I don't care where the team is based in the new cartoon, so long as its still a team meant to take on Cobra.
Not trying to take this in the usual, patriotic vs. apathetic argument that we see so often, but I feel it is important to point out that it may not matter to you, but it does matter to a lot of others who were brought up being taught that patriotism was very important. I'm sure many of us have father's that are Vietnam vets that would view the lack of the US flag in the movie as shameful, I know my parents did when I told them about it.
I had a big problem with Sigma 6 and their pseudo-United Nations flag, Billy the falcon rather than Freedom the eagle, etc. The fact that the cartoon isn't afraid to fly the American flag makes it much more appealing to me and really makes me feel better about the movie not doing so. At least us who feel that the flag is important don't feel disparaged with every new form of media that comes out.
