Entirely.
But if you want me to provide a detailed explanation, I can. It was our friend Christopher's (creator of that beautiful edit) first time skiing on the summer set up. His skis were not functioning as well as everyone else's, so we figured a little lighter fluid and a cloth might help speed them up. I didn't want to go inside with my ski boots on, so I grabbed the closest thing resembling a cloth: the american flag. Whenever I clean my skis with lighter fluid at home, I usually burn the paper towel that I use in the fire pit so we don't have lighter fluid soaked rags in our garbage. So, yes, we did deface and burn the american flag, and it was totally necessary.
