1. US Navy ships fly the US flag in combat.

2. No flags are flown by the US Air Force in combat, the Vietnam War was the last war in which the USAF painted the Red, White, and Blue insignia on their aircraft. Post Vietnam is the "sub-dued" look (all black).

3. The US Army used to fly it's flag at some firebases, etc. But they drew lots of 122mm rocket fire, coupled with mortars...so the army kept a low profile on "flag waving" during the war.

4. The US Marines, being part of the US Navy, may have flown the US flag at Khe Sahn during the siege in '68.
