Why the American special forces have an upside down flag on their shoulders?
If the soldier were carrying a flag, the flag would appear "backwards" when viewed from the soldier's right. Thus, the right side patch is backwards. It's the same reason that the flag is painted backwards on the right side of airplanes and other vehicles.
Why is the American flag patch wore backwards?
The flag is worn with the appearance of being backwards on soldiers RIGHT arm to symbolize early American armies which had a flag carrier holding our flag high (which looks backwards from one side while correct from the other). The backwardsflag signifies this and gives the perception that every soldier is carrying a flag. Left arm patches are correctly laid. It is worn backwards to make it look like a soldier is marching into the wind carrying a flag and the wind is blowing into the flag. I hope this is more understanding. This is the same reason for astronauts.
