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.

[Shin-Gouki]

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?

[ranoobu]

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.
