Why is the flag on the Scout uniform displayed wrong?
Category:Boy Scouts of America
The flag patch on the BSA uniform is worn properly. So is the flag worn on the uniform of many law enforcement officers, firefighters, emergency medical services and astronauts. Page 76 of the 12th Edition of the Boy Scout Handbook notes the difference between the BSA and the U.S. Army methods of wearing the flag, and that the BSA method is in compliance with the U.S. Flag Code.
The US Flag Code has no guidance on the wear of the flag patch, nor on the use of flags on vehicles. When the US Flag is depicted on a vehicle, the tradition is to show the standard flag on the left side and the reverse on the right so that it appears to be advancing.
The BSA started wearing the flag patch on the uniform in 1972, using the standard flag. Cub Scouts initially wore the flag over the right pocket, then it was moved to the right sleeve.

What does your husband mean if says he sees red flags in you?
You didn't really give much info as to the relationship you and your husband have. He could be joking if you have somewhat of a fiery temper (like waving a red flag in front of a bull.) LOL If you are having difficulties in your marriage he may be telling you he doesn't trust you and can see "red flags" (which means danger) such as you possibly cheating. If you care to elaborate on your situation just post under my post. It means your husband cant communicate well with you, if he cant tell you what the red flags are. Sounds like he's sheepishly is trying to tell you that ways he expected you to be or not to be are not what he thought before he married you. Ask him to be mature about this and tell you exactly what he means. If he chooses not to talk to you then you should Yellow flag him with caution.
