Army Regulation 670-1, “Wear and Appearance of Army Uniforms and Insignia,” updated most recently September 5, 2003, addresses explicitly the
proper and lawful placement of the U.S. flag patch on the Army uniform.

the date is from after the war started

As for the rest of the issue...I appriciate the NFLs support (I think it is great they send cheerleaders and players over to see us) and I think it is great the league incorperates flyovers and the national anthem etc..., I am not about to tell an american you says "Hey thanks for your service" - thanks but your flag is backwards. I am going to say thanks, and mean it.

You got some of your facts mixed up. I was in Kuwait in 1998 and we wore the Flag the same way then. The change in 2003 was merely to make servicemembers wear it permenantly. In otherwords so that they no longer had to remove it from the uniform every time they came home only to put it back on in a year or so. So you are incorrect to say that they wore it differently in Bosnia. Let me guess that you based that assumption on "Black-Hawk Down". It is unlawfull to impersonate a U.S. soldier, Hollywood has to make mitakes on uniforms and various other things.

Look I am not arguing this point anymore. I sent an Email to Coach Gibbs's people. If it actually gets to him I requested him to have somebody talk to the NFL Commissioner about it. If something happens, then it happens, but I am done. I am going to eat humble pie and have a nice hot cup of STFU!
