In wartime the flag is worn backwards to show advancement.. take the flag and put it on a flag-pole and run at the enemy.. it flies backwards.. Hope this helped Flying the flag upsidedown is a sign of duress. The idea being that your enemies would not know which side was up but your friends would and would come to your aid.
