    An reversed Flag on our servicemen represents rushing into Battle.

    I find this one funny:

    The US Army has had an inverted flag of its own for some time. Federal law says the blue piece should be on the left at all times.

    It's an inverted flag...showing the country is in distress under Public Law 829.




    the reason for this flag was so when worn on the right sleeve the stars were in front. It was to be just like when the old Cav rode into battle on horseback that no matter what side you were on the stars were always in front from the flag waving into the wind.
