Was there a contested Flag Day post by the Pentagon, with suspicions arising about potential blending of American and Russian flag symbols?
Pentagon Post Sparks Controversy
Looks like the Pentagon's latest post on X has raised some eyebrows! People claim that the department mixed up the American flag with the Russian one in a Flag Day tribute.
The Pentagon published a post on X to celebrate Flag Day with a caption that read, "Happy Flag Day! Let us honor the symbol of our nation and the stars and stripes that unite us all." The post also highlighted, "As we display our nation's flag and reflect on the values it represents, let's celebrate the freedom, courage, and resilience that make our country great."
However, in the photo attached to the post, there seemed to be two Russian flags flanking the phrase "Flag Day" and the American flag on one side.
Despite the uproar surrounding the photo shared by the Pentagon, some defended the post, stating it was merely a "silly design mistake," with the colors resembling the Russian flag just being two dashes in the American flag's colors (red, white, and blue).
Many suggested not overanalyzing or exaggerating minor details.
