If you know what year it changed, would be nice to know. I know when I was a kid in school the flag did not have this, now it's everywhere.

I can see and accept people using it as political protest, but it is not meant to be used in advertising. I am an Eagle Scout and one of the things I do hate is the use of flags in advertising.

But other then that you can do what you want with it coz there are no laws pertaining to desecration or disposal of union flags, there isnt even a law that makes the union flag the offical british flag.

Traditionally and particulary in the military a flag at half mast is flow exacly one flag width from the top of the mast. I believe though that exactly half way up the pole is aceptable in the US. The other thing I would like to add is when ever the US are having a UK dignitary to visit you display something that looks like the Union Flag (correct name for Union Jack) but is not coz it has this gold braided tassels shit arround the edge. Our flag does not have this and I find it mildy offensive, if you want to honour some one get it right. How would like us to emblish your flag? One last thing is that people often put the union flag upside down, it may not look like it but just like the US flag the UK flag has a top and bottom a left and right, and i have seen it displayed incorrectly quite often. The flag has diagonal red and white crosses and if you have it up the right way the broader white stripe must be at the top of the pole where it is attached to the pole or if it is a sticker the broader white stripe must be in the top left hand corner.

Well I guess when the time ever comes that your house or vehicle is broken into, or you are being held at knife or gun point and have that little voice in the back of your head telling you this is the end, be sure to tell the law inforcement officer thank you for putting his or her life on the line for your rear. I for one liked the article, Old Glory is do it respect. Now if people would open their eyes and stop acting like sheep and show just as much respect to the constitution of this nation maybe we wouldn't have some of the problems we're have now.

They will always be of no consequence as they rarely make it to the polls in meaningful numbers. On another note; Section 9 of title 4 United States Code states: "Members of the Armed Forces and Veterans who are present but not in uniform may render the Military Salute."
