The flag patch on the sleeve is pointing the wrong direction. When the flag is a patch on a sleeve on any uniform the stars point forward and the strips point to the rear. The rule applies on both arms. When the strips are pointing forward its a sign of retreat.
This is *military* regulation only, as soldiers must appear not to retreat (as you correctly point out). In civilian use, the flag can be worn as it actually appears. When wearing only one flag patch on a sleeve, it can be worn on the left side so as to appear correctly oriented, and perhaps abide by the "no retreat" concept. An easily searchable example is an American astronaut's suit: flag on left, and Mission or Project patch (where applicable) on the right. I have seen just a couple Police cars from American cities that have small flags near front or rear wheel arch fenders, and they are also displayed as actual image on either side and not reversed on the right for "no retreat" - though this may be based on individual jurisdiction's policies. It also, thus far, *only* applies to Americans - predominantly because they have a given orientation to their flag, but even countries with designs that would not mirror identically have not followed this rule.
@@alexrebmann1253 I don't disagree, my own observations are limited and I did allow for it being dependent upon the particular Police Service's policies. I hadn't considered aircraft, and it seems sensible as it's indicative of forward motion, though I would doubt it is mandatory policy by the FAA. My original point was only that your blanket statement that a sleeve flag patch "on any uniform" is not entirely accurate, though it is wholly correct in regards to US military uniforms, as a regulation. Any other American agency that observes it, is doing so for their own reasons, and anyone not doing so is *not* wrong - ergo, these Scouts are not at any fault for their uniform.
You know what's really a waist? You are a waist. You are a waist of space and air. One day, you will no longer deprive American's of these things and we will all be better for it.
@Kendra Jones, no, I absolutely don't think it's ok. One of us is mistaken here. The way I read that comment is them saying that the flag wasn't used to beat cops... I served my country very proudly and don't like people disrespecting our flag.
@robert carr, same goes for you. One of us is mistaken. I served in Iraq and am a very proud Patriot. I don't need a job as a fry cook seeing how I'm 100% permanent and totally disabled from my tour of duty. Thanks for your comment though, lol.
That looked like a perfectly good flag to me.😳 RIP flag.😭
That's what I thought!
I thought that too 😳
You boys made e tear up. Well done!!!
Respect for flag
So proud of these young men. Nothing but respect for them & our flag!
Thank you.
May God bless our country, our flag, and the men and women who will retire our flag with the dignity and respect it deserves.

@@TakaAmun If you look at flag stickers on police cars and flags on tails of airplanes no matter what side the stars are pointing forward.

They literally teach you that this is incorrect in boy scouts
What the hell was even wrong with the flag
น่าเสียดายธงชาติ
It was done wrong but sure they had the right intentions.
It is not wrong in anyway it is proper disposal off a worn flag acording to the flag code
Are they called boy scout?

@@caseyclark5392 Wait... so you think it is okay to hit an officer with the American flag??? Why???? What’s wrong with you????

Really? I just send mine to CNN
Not how it is done!! Cut the stripes from the field, leaving the field intact. Leaders should read up on proper disposal.
please give website where one can read up on doing this to a flag.
