Shitpost obviously, but it annoys me for some reason. Does anyone actually have a clue as to why they did it like that?
I believe it’s because the American flag can never be ‘retreating’

Thanks! 🙏
Imagine that the flag is attached to a flagpole and the person is carrying it while walking forward, the flag would be flowing out behind them with the blue part at the front no matter which side of the person you were viewing from. In this case, the person is the flagpole.
The flag has 2 sides, it cant be mirrored. Its to be displayed stars first in the direction of travel when its on a vehicle or clothing.
It’s the same on military uniforms. https://www.medalsofamerica.com/blog/backwards-flag-meaning/
That is the advancing flag.
