What are some urban legends of flag pole trucks?

The truck is the name for the round ball on top of the flagpole. It serves to keep the flag from getting caught if wind flips it over the pole. There are a number of legends about what is inside the truck- a match to burn the flag, a razor blade to cut up the flag, a pistol cartridge for the last soldier, etc. Sorry- the ball is hollow. Nothing in there.

How many trucks in US army?

There is only one Truck on each Army installation, it is usually located in front of the Headquarters of that base on top of the only flag pole. The "Truck" is the golden ball that tips a flag pole, its significances goes back to the old Army, inside the Truck you would find 1 matchstick, 1 razor blade an 1 .45 caliber round, if you were to knock the flag pole down at True North where the truck lands you would be able to dig up the ground and find a .45 caliber pistol. If the installation was to over run and you were the sole surviving American you would take the razor blade and cut the American Flag into pieces, then take the Matchstick and burn the flag and finally load the .45 caliber round into the gun and shot yourself. We as American soldiers would not settle to surrender the American Flag to our enemies.
