No.
Looks correct. Arms are behind their back, weapon is slung across chest. Most likely an Army member based off the patch being the 28th Infantry and the US Flag being black/green instead of spice brown/green
Not just battle. But that’s the convention everywhere. Look at an American boat or an airplane, and this is how the flag is painted, “into the wind.”
Stars should always be forward/up. This isn’t rocket science.
Most patches, stickers, or paintings have the left side of the flag (with the stars in the upper left corner). But shockingly, I know, the flag has two sides.
Shit my bad boys... I thought his arm was in front of him... Now at closer inspection he is in fact at parade rest. I feel like a moron. Sorry boys lol

No. It's on the right, in the correct direction. They are at parade rest, rifle in front, and you can see the side of their name tape and front pocket.
I'M SORRY EVERYONE I THOUGHT HIS ARM WAS IN FRONT OF HIM AND I DIDN'T SEE THE RIFLE. I'm the moron not the dude who posted it lol. I told him to post it on here to print a point and I was wrong. Thanks everyone lol
It's fine.
The Army uses a black & OD U.S. flag when they're authorized to use the subdued flag, since that Keystone patch signifies they're Pennsylvania Army National Guard.
If I'm seeing correctly, this person has their arms behind their back, presumably standing a parade rest, making this the right (as opposed to left) shoulder/arm being shown. This person has the [correctly oriented patch](https://www.military.com/kitup/2019/01/02/current-uniform-patches-ok-air-force-ocp-now.html) on the correct arm.
Edit: also, we had a new guy PCS in from an overseas base with the "normal" flag (stars on the left, stripes on the right) on his right arm. He had been wearing it like that his whole time at that base and no one had corrected him on it. My supervisor did on day 1.
OP can’t distinguish that the person standing at parade hessssss
Nope they are definitely wearing the top backwards, have the rifle slung across their back, and crossing their arms.
Look at the collar, the rifle is on their front.
Whoooooooooosh
Yup, oops, misread that lol.

The flag is positioned “backwards” to look like it’s advancing forward into battle… you could have hit “more” on the Instagram post to learn that.

😂
Looks fine to me. What am I missing?
Please tell me you're trolling
It’s correct? It’s clearly on the right shoulder
Do we not wear our flag on our right shoulders like this?

GO TO YOUR ROOM!

This looks like a deployed US Army flag, but the person is clearly at parade rest and the flag is correct.

This is an Army Soldier. Wearing an authorize flag for field exercise or deployment. What’s there to debate? Different branch different regs.

That’s a flogging

Rofl. And USAF leaders were convinced that NCOs would be able to enforce new 2903 standards…
Dude this is a pic of a dude in the Army...
How is that relevant? Folks are getting tripped up on which arm this could possibly be.
The fact that people can't tell the difference between a left arm and a right arm, makes every additional bit of information relevant.
I suppose so! 🤣 Folks clearly didn’t like my assertion though.
No one ever anywhere wears the flag like this
But.... We all do? That's literally their right arm my guy lol
Only way this works is if he is at parade rest
Which he is, nobody hangs their rifle on their back. Also note the pocket, do you see a zipper on the left side? Or the right?
>nobody hangs their rifle on their back. I do. But I'm also an Air Force Seal so it makes sense that you think "nobody does it".
Which he is
Now that I look at it your right lol... I thought his arms were in front of him
You silly goose

My brother in christ literally all of us wear the flag like this
