3 syllables TERR I BLE!!!!

This was HORRIBLE!!!! start to finish, incorrect and disrespectful. As a former Air Force Honor Guard member, this turned my stomach!!!!!! Letting the flag flop around, almost dropping it, not folding it correctly, there was NO WAY that the finish tuck on that fold could have concealed the red properly. Start over by learning to do it correctly before you try to show somebody else!!!

Fail flag fold is fail! Don't follow this tutorial.

Full of mistakes. I get that civilians may not know all the correct steps, but if you're making a how to video, military or not, do it correctly.

Since they are civilians, they can fold the flag however way they want. I don't think there's a law against that.

However, if any of them were military, the way they fold needs to be changed because it is not correct.

@naamanb: but. going up to some ones door and telling them. there son or daugher is dead. is one of the hardist things i hve ever done. im a member of EOD i held bombs in my hands and disarmed them. but the angels of death have it worse.

@naamanb: None of use are perfect. thats what makes us human. one day you will mess up and you wont even know. i have messed up so many times i cant count them. but i foreget about it. it doesnt bother me. cause i let it go.

@ProHalo100

dude, congrats on your tours. thanks for serving. I cant say i don't feel for the families of men lost with you, but they knew what they were doing when they signed up. your service, your tours, and your ribbons have nothing to do with this.

this is wrong. "a little errors here and there"?! you definitely should know, that "a little error" is a big deal. if this was what was presented to your family at your brothers funeral, would you go and out it in is case? didn't think so.

@naamanb: okay. i have takin four tures in Afgan, and iraq. and i have been all over the world i cant say what i was doing. but i can say this. i saw people younger than you die. i have three purple hearts. i had to barrie my frinds and my brother. if you cant respect this video you cant respect your flag or your country. these people are good people. they wanted to maked a video of how to fold a flag. so what if there are alittle errors here and there. they are people of the U.S so be happy.
