The "reverse" flag is the "moving forward" emblem, authorized/mandated in
the current theater to be "thrusting toward the enemy" in combat rather than
the technically "correct" display which implies moving away from the fray.

On the news I see the American flag on the right shoulder of the Army, but
it
seems backwards, blue field on the right instead of the left...

Insight?
