Yes that is true that uniforms have the flag backwards. I forget the symbolism behind it, but as it relates to a display of patriotism, most people would prefer the more traditional presentation.

All I can say is, it looked right to him.

its backwards because if it was the “proper way” the flag would be “flying” as if the army’s retreating…

if he had it upside down i’d say he’s an ass…

Just look at the buttons on their shirts. No need for forensic science.

P.S. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, mens buttons are on the right side. Womens, the left.

P.P.S. So how many of you never knew that until now?
