Why do people still have the Swastika nazi flag today?
Because some people can really relate to Hitler's anti-Semitic, racial and nationalistic ideals. The red/black/white slanted Swastika is a immediately recognizable symbol of the Nazi regime, and is a perfect way for those people to indicate they subscribe to that philosophy.
Oddly enough, Neo-Nazism is not illegal. It's simply considered an extremist political party. They are allowed to continue all normal activities any other religion/political party would carry out, excepting of course, specific advocation of violence or sedition.
Note that the United States is an unusual case in continuing to tolerate Nazi beliefs. Much of the rest of the developed world does not have the very broad freedom of speech laws of the U.S., and thus, most of Europe (and many Asian countries) considers Nazi beliefs hate speech and ban them, which includes displays of the Swastika flag. Germany, in particular, has a very strong aversion (for obvious reasons) to the continued espousing of Nazi beliefs, and bans all Nazi literature, symbols, and speech in anything but an academic historical setting.
What country has a blue flag with 1 yellow horizontal stripe with 2 white 5 point stars?
I don't even know if there is a blue flag with one yellow horizontal stripe and two white, five point stars. Why do you even want to know? This question is very random.
The red/white and white/red flags were used identically for visual signaling. Depending on the background (i.e. skyline or vegetation), one color combination might be more difficult to see. Therefore the flags were used interchangeably, selecting whichever would provide the best visibility to the observer.

Can you be flagged for not completing an NCOER as a Rater in the Army?
Technically you can be flagged for not completing an NCOER as a Rater, if you are an NCO in the US Army and have other NCO's under you it is your responsibility to conduct the proper measures to ensure your junior NCO's have the same opportunities for potential success in the Army as you have had. The only way you would be flagged would be by UCMJ for either actions unbecoming of an NCO or failure to preform duties as an NCO. In my personal opinion and if you were in my platoon, company or battalion and under me I would make sure that you yourself would find a swift demotion in your near future because you are a perfect example of a poor NCO, do you expect your NCOER to be done on time, if its not how will it effect your potential professional growth suffer.
