So, it's OK for the military to reverse the flag, but turning it upside down is blasphemy?

Dont think I've ever seen a flag flown by the military upside down
Q7: How should the American Flag patch be worn by Army personnel?
HQDA policy has been changed to authorize all soldiers throughout the force permanent wear of the full-color U.S. Flag cloth replica (approximately 2"x3") on utility uniforms. The patch is worn on BDUs, Desert BDUs, the Maternity BDU, the Cold Weather Coat (Field Jacket), Aircrew Battle Dress Uniform, and the Combat Vehicle Crewman Uniform and Jacket (Cold Weather). DA policy states that the patch will be sewn 1/2 inch below the right shoulder seam of the utility uniform. When the shoulder sleeve insignia-former wartime service (SSI-FWTS) is worn on the right shoulder of the utility uniform, the U.S. Flag insignia is placed 1/8 inch below the SSI-FWTS. The cloth replica is worn so that the star field faces forward or to the flag's own right. When worn on the right sleeve, it is considered proper to reverse the design so that the union is at the observer's right to suggest that the flag is flying in the breeze as the wearer moves forward.

Hey Dary, I'm sorry that happened to you, People are going to stay ignorant and act like nothing's wrong until TSHTF then they will say OH CRAP, YOU WERE RIGHT
In Africa we see that if an ostrich buries its head in the sand,the lion's kill is very easy-he does'nt even have to chase..
We are at the cusp of a Brave New World, and your flag is a distress beacon in the darkness that is engulfing all of us.
This, this is what the used car salesman was afraid of.
He was afraid of it all crashing down at once.
I hope that makes sense to you. Keep your flag up as long as you can. I'll be turning mine over in the morning.

Let me recap.
You put a upside-down flag up and a sign "impeach Obama" and now you are all perplexed why not everyone is supporting your view? Are you FOR REAL?
As you know, I too, am flying my flag upside down in distress. We are a Nation in distress. To ignore it is dangerous.
Hang in there Girl...IIRC, a lot of people driving past your home, honk in agreement with you and your other half. He was probably going to sell you a crappy truck anyway....your hard earned dollars are better spent with someone who uses all of their brain.

The refusal to take my money and my business because of this uniformed, close minded person's assumptions about our political stance, THAT is my issue.
