Q'uran flushing is the equal of flag burning. Both are forms of symbolic political speech. I don't know how a soldier's rights are defined under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, but in the same way I support a persons right to burn the flag, I also support a person's right to desecrate the Q'uran or Bible. Yes, they are highly disturb the audience, but the last I heard that's not illegal.
But they weren't flushing the book as a sign of protest they were doing it as a form of torture. The same as locking up a catholic and shitting on the Bible.
