Possible Wave 4 Duke Variant??

Mine's got a backwards American flag on his arm. Anyone else?

Picture please.

Isn't that how it's supposed to be? Both my wave 4 Duke and 5-pack Duke are that way.

That's how the patch is supposed to be worn. The blue always going forward.

Yep that is how all of them are

Really? I've never heard of that. (i'm not military)

What's the reasoning behind it?

maybe it's sorta like symbolism.. the "wind effect"

imagine the the flag on a pole.. and you're holding that pole and walking forward.. wind blowing against you..

so basically... "moving/marching forward" or something..

I often wondered about the flag being this way on soldiers uniforms. I thought the proper way to display the flag was with the blue field on the upper let, but it is the upper right on real army uniforms. The only thing I could think of was the "wind effect" ranoobu mentioned.

That's right, it's to symbolize the US forces advancing.
