That's correct. On uniforms and vehicles the flag should be "flying" with the stars on the leading edge. So flags on the right side look "backwards". That's why I mentioned that the flag is wrong on those Hemi police cars in the other thread.

What I'm more curious about are the 3 gentlemen with folding stock AK-74s. I know the AK is probably the best rifle for such a dusty and dirty environment, but I didn't know our military started issuing 'em!
