Belive it or not but there are laws and a code of conduct (if you will) against the way american flag is worn today. Todays society has gotten too relaxed to bother teaching the stuff, my grandfather told me about this. I don't see what the big deal is about flags though. I own a couple things with the scottish flag on them, a few with the confederate "battle flag", and even some with the american flag.
I refuse to wear the american flag due to the fact I'm not some yuppie thats gonna throw it on everything I got right now cause we are at war. I think its pretty sorry thats what it took for most americans to become patriotic. I also think its sorry the was some dumb jerks have taken a part of southern history (conferderate flag) and turned it into what they have.
~steps off soapbox~
What it boils down to me is wear it if you want just please do it for a respectable reason.
You can read this and see how many codes are broken daily:http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/flagetiq.html
The first one that pops into mind is the stickers you see on the back of cars but as you read:
The flag should not be draped over the hood, top, sides, or back of a vehicle or of a railroad train or a boat. When the flag is displayed on a motorcar, the staff shall be fixed firmly to the chassis or clamped to the right fender.
