It sounds to me like he was posturing for "shock value" in front of the group?

If he is whining that he has no freedom, then I invite him to travel a bit, go to the Middle East, go to Asia, go to Cuba (by way of Toronto), then come back and hopefully he will be a bit more grateful for his cushy life. Many countries like Germany and Israel have a MANDATORY military service for 2-3 years, so if he is whining about how he has no freedom, perhaps he could give that some thought. Quite frankly, I think he needs to be smacked!

I am not saying that Canada nor the USA are perfect, but I have travelled extensively (I have hit every continent, but South America and Antarctica) and all I can say is we have it pretty good here in North America. The only country that can hold a candle to our countries (i.e. Canada and USA) is Australia, and that's only because the weather is so fantastic!

As for what should your fraternity do? Don't kick him out for it, but I would certainly tell him that you found his behavior to be offensive and upsetting. He should also be made to either pay to have the flag replaced (if it was damaged or torn) or dry-cleaned.
Basically from the "Free Speech" angle, what he did (while objectionable) is permissible.
