Stars forward, like the flag would be if you carried it into battle.

Its not.

The field is only on the left when displayed on a wall.

On a person or vehicle, the flag is diplayed so as to represent forward motion (blue to the front).

Because we ain't running away like a bunch of French!

If it's on something that moves, that is the correct way to display.

this isn't mean to be a insult but why do people assume its backwards? when a flag is flying do people say its backwards!
