US Flag on Military Uniform
4 Answers
Watching the news I noticed that a lot of the American forces have the flag on their uniform sleeve but with the "Stars" top right instead of top left....Why is this?

The answer was that the flag is displayed so that the hoist (the pole end of the flag - the stars) is to the front while the flag "streams" to the rear. So the flag you saw should have been on the right sleeve. A left sleeve version would have the stars at top left.
