NightSide - Fire Department Forced To Remove Flags

BOSTON (CBS) - The Arlington Fire District in Poughkeepsie, New York was forced to get rid of American flags that were displayed on three of the trucks used by the department after the Arlington Board of Fire Commissioners voted that the flags must be removed. The firefighters' union recently decided to display the flags, but the board felt that the flags were a "liability during normal operations for our people and other motorists." Do you agree, or did the board overreact?
