MichaelC 160 Report post Posted September 14, 2004 That is funny! If I'm not mistaken, those are the flags of, (from top to bottom), Russia, Germany, and France. Correct?Why is the US flag backwards? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct?Man the old guy is good I recognized Germany and France. But, I have to admit to being stumped by the Russian flag. Good ol' Google search took care of that, though...... ......Hey, wait a minute! "The old guy"?? WTF?!........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaydub 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2004 That picture has been around for awhile and it's been proven to have been staged, but it's still funny.The flag is not necessarily backwards. Gary is right, it means moving or advancing forward. Since the stars are nearer the pole the reasoning is that when advancing the stars are leading and the stripes are flapping behind you so if the the flag was placed on the right sleeve as you would expect to see it, (reverse of the picture here) it would look as if you were retreating. Hey MC, glad Ivan missed you, hope Jeanne doesn't effect you.Take care down there.JayDub Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
