As a sort of follow up post, I was wanting to get some thoughts on saluting/respect of flags. It can be controversial - such as when people kneel instead, despite it being a form of respect.
How stringent are these rules of etiquette? Does every country do this?
I found this little discussion that seemed interesting - I hadn't realized it was a written code of conduct.
Doesn't the same go for proper management of flags? I've heard that you're technically not supposed to wear it because that's considered disrespect, along with allowing one to fray/be out in the elements, not have light shone on it at night, & disposal is conducted a certain way. I know sometimes things are urban myths or just misunderstood, so figured it would be good to tap into peer experts & just have an intriguing discussion overall.
