The backwards flag patch on a soldier's shoulder is like that so the leading edge of the flag (starfield) leads the direction when charging into battle.
The flag is viewed from the viewpoint of a the heart, the patch on the shoulder has the stars on the upper left of the flag, it's correct position. Same with flags that are vertically hung from the face of a building.
0:33 soldier's uniform has backwards flag, why? is this standard now? isn't that disrespectful?
not as disrespectful as the fact the flags draped over fallen soldiers coffins are made in China.
patriots love their country not their flags.
