Wanna Make A Flag

I don't question the official status of those rules but don't agree with the wisdom of some of them.

When carried in a procession, the flag should be to the right of the marchers.

I'd rather see it front and center. Maybe it's to keep it out of the way of flying bullets?

When flown with flags of states, communities, or societies on separate flag poles which are of the same height and in a straight line, the flag of the United States is always placed in the position of honor - to its own right.

How do you determine "it's own right" if you can view the poles from both sides?

The bad weather thing I mentioned before, our Marines don't quit and go home in bad weather so why should the flag?
If you have scattered showers do you run the flag up and down every time it starts to rain?

Back in 'Nam days, I thought the flag represented the Jingoism that allowed Johnson and Nixon to keep us mired in that mess. I see Bush doing the same thing but now I realize it's not the flags fault.
