Why does the US not lower the us flag when passing the review stand in honor of the head of state of the host country as other countries do?

In 1936, the Americans refused to dip the flag to Adolph Hitler and thereby show no support to Nazi Germany. Ridiculous as it may seem to the rest of the world, this is now a tradition for them.
Added:
This is not the reason. The US Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, section 176 states:
§176. Respect for flagNo disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing.It is neither a "tradition" nor ridiculous nor did it start with the 1936 Olympics. It is how a US citizen is taught to honor and show respect for our flag.
