That is actually the way the flag is supposed to be sewn onto things if I recall correctly.

EDIT:
Did some google searching, and it seems there is no such national law or edict or anything else perscribing how or it what direction to place the American flag. The Boy Scouts have the stars on the left on the right shoulder, and the military has the stars on the right on the right shoulder.

Simply, its just the way the military chose to display the flag.

Isn't that the correct way to do it? I thought the idea was that the stars were always facing forwards, like the wind is blowing a real flag. So if you have a flag patch on your left side, the stars are on the left of the patch ( your front), and if you have a patch on your right side, the stars are on the right of the patch (still your front). :?:

That's correct. On uniforms and vehicles the flag should be "flying" with the stars on the leading edge. So flags on the right side look "backwards". That's why I mentioned that the flag is wrong on those Hemi police cars in the other thread.

What I'm more curious about are the 3 gentlemen with folding stock AK-74s. I know the AK is probably the best rifle for such a dusty and dirty environment, but I didn't know our military started issuing 'em!

Sweet , looks a little like AZ.

Whose that guy in the bushes in the 4th picture, he's making me nervous

I would guess they were confiscated, not issued by US army.

I didn't think our soldier were allowed to use confiscated weapons... do they have to use confiscated ammo too?

Thats how I do it in video games.

those guys are Romanian army..they are pretty cool. I've made a few RO. buddies...one of the better ones has invited me to visit in Romania when I get home I think I will.

Cool skyline ridge --- I wonder how rotten the rock is though....

I need an ACOG.

Ahh, that explains the weapons and cammo.

Holy crap! I guess the sandstorms you see in movies actually happen over there. :huh: :eek: Hope you don't get caught out in one of those.

holy RED X storm...hahaha... funny you say that but I do have a pic of a sand storm rolling in on us...

Heh, I was going to say something but I figured Austin was already fixing them.

Austin, please don't bring us a shitstorm of C-C moderators eating our faces for stealing their bandwidth. :lol:

:?: They work fine for me...

You have them cached.

I posted that at work and the pics came up fine, and here on my home computer it loads up fine too. Am I missing something?

Dunno whats up. They worked for me at work, but I can't see them at home
:shrug:

a few more pics

those pictures rule.

Looks like you guys are taking care business.

Hay guys and ladies update time...I'm on R&R in Qatar (its next to saudi arabia on the gulf under bahrain) I haven't checked this thread in a while hope all are well. take care

Glad to hear you are alive and well.

Enjoy your R&R.

Was anyone in your unit involved in that Shinook that went down? Glad to hear you are OK and getting some "rest"... :)

forgot the temp has been ungodly...the army calculates the temp by how hot it is woking in the sun...well it has broken 150 several times...it was about 130 in the shade... No no reno birds were involved in the shoot down..and they have found another survivor from the crash. I will say that no one has died from reno (yet and I hope none do) but our birds have been shot to shit and many have been downed. its pretty "hot" in Afg.

Yikes! Hang in there man. I've got some more HYBRID tunes saved for you.

Glad to hear all is well with you over there. Please stay "cool".

Sounds like you need an intercooler in your flak jacket!

Stay safe.
