>The American Flag in Battle
Back in the days of the Civil War, flag bearers were common military positions within the greater infantry and cavalry units. As the flag bearers stormed into battle, the American flag would sway behind them with the momentum, making it look like the flag was backwards as it flew.
They'll never admit this, but it's because the Federal Government is illegitimate. The real government of the United States was formed under the Articles of Confederation, and if Federal troops used its flag then they'd violate the laws of war. So instead they sneakily use a reversed US flag instead, which tricks most sheeple.
You could make a color changing cloak with little string pulleys inside so it can turn into a convincing rock.
Like a compromise between a normal camouflaged uniform and a ghillie suit.
It's a traditional thing iirc. It's supposed to look like it's waking in the wind.
So why not put it on the other arm and avoid the autism?
Because they don’t care about your pointless autism
They put it on both arms. One of them will be backwards.
Stars gotta point forwards.
It's right way around on the left side.
Put a flag on a pole and run forward with it.
What a reddit take. It's not a flag on a pole. It's a stationary patch you fricking freakshow morons.
Would you prefer a gold line?
How do you know it's a stationary patch?
it's the flag proceeding forward
this is also an acceptable answer lmao
imagine having an american flag patch at all. that's the real reddit take.
I would bet money you are unironically one of the same people SOVL posting and b***hing about a lack of traditions elsewhere.
You destroyed him

agreed. It's stupid keyboard warrior bullshit. If we were smarter with flag design, we wouldn't have to worry about making right flags and left flags.
So it looks right in the mirror, duh
Rent free in your mind.
America leads the way, that's why.

Foreign cope, stay mad lol
big if true
>Why is the flag patch backwards on US army uniforms?
So it always appears as if the soldier is advancing forwards.
This. Imagine that the flag pole is on the right. Then when the soldier is moving forwards the flag flies behind them.
What if they are standing still though or going the other way.
Always Faithful, Always Forward
If you were moving forward with a flagpole, the flag would be that way.
>its cuz were alwahs moving forward
lol america is so gay
these colors don't cower backwards
*advancing*
h/s "marx"
It means that they represent the opposite of American ideals.
It's a moron test
>both named "U.S. Army"
Are they brothers? Or married? Or both?
>joining the army and changing your name to U.S. MARINE
honestly a solid bit
>be isis commander
>american soldiers bust down your door
>patch says U.S. COAST GUARD
>yfw
These colors don't run ... away. Only forward.
SF2 tribute
I'm just tryin to find a photo of both patches wtf is this
what is happening
Because our enemies read from right to left.
something about running towards the enemy
the wind blows against us soldiers wherever they are
Sounds like capes should become part of standard infantry kit, then.
You could make a color changing cloak with little string pulleys inside so it can turn into a convincing rock.

to make our enemies think they are looking at a mirror and won't shoot, idiot
US soldiers are not allowed to move backwards, doing so is grounds for dishonorable discharge or under certain circumstances execution.
This, I had two buddies that walked down opposite ways of a narrow hallway and they're still stuck there to this day.
Because they're moronic and don't know what their flag looks like. They only know the McDonalds flag.
