I tried to clarify the matter by writing a disclaimer at the bottom.

(And yeah, in the game flag burning can be legal _or_ illegal -- depending on the in-game policy. On the most liberal setting, it's completely legal; on the most conservative setting, it's called "Flag Murder" and carries penalties just like murder does. Either way, it doesn't influence public opinion.)
