1. Those don't look real...
It looks like the other flags were photoshopped on.

4. Here's a link to snopes debunking it.
It looks like the American flag is real, but not the rest.

17. I didn't know that. Thanks. I always thought the union was
always to the left. I looked it up in the flag code though, and that it only specifies that as the manner of display in a window or on a wall.

9. No...
Edited on Sun Jul-23-06 10:55 AM by misternormal
...My daughter has an American Flag in that exact location on her BDUs, so that is real... the others are not, nor would they be authorized to wear.

There are regulations governing what can and can not be displayed on the uniform, and I can say from experience that those are totally not authorized.

12. Why is this even being posted?
Because LostinVA it is the first time I ever saw or heard of it, sorry that I am not as informed as you are, although I do try very hard to keep up, sorry to trouble you with my ignorance.

14. Good grief -- have a mojito and chill
No reason for such a response.

Iw as merely wondering why something so anti-French, Germany, etc. was being posted... this was a huge RW photoshop being sent around around the invasion of Iraq. Freeper trolls are often posting this type of crap on here just to stir the pot. There's been a high level of this activity on DU lately.

Fine, you're not a Freeper troll.

No reason for such a bitchy comment.
