13, 7 red and 6 white - to represent 13 colonies
star Field on the top left corner - whether horizontal or vertical.
Fold lengthwise twice with field to the outside. make triangular folds until it is a triangle, tuck in the edge - only field visible (12 folds total)
At night it should be taken in, unless well lit

As a retired military officer I'm more disturbed by those who are 40+ years of age and too lazy to check with a veterans's group, the local military recruiter, or even an Eagle Scout regarding display of the flag on a motor vehicle. It's never flown on the left! My personal nickname for that crowd is the "Petey Patriot Brigade".

Because you can use the internet for everything.
Not knowing stuff about the flag doesn't mean people are stupid though. Lots of people just don't care to know those things about the flag.

Maybe it is because they are spending more time in foreign language study, multicultural sensitivity, and sex education than how to put a flag on a casket. And yes I can answer the questions.

I am 22 year old Eagle Scout and I know every answer to your questions with out using the net... it is amazing how you judge millions of people on a few you know. You may call my generation stupid but look at yourself being so ignorant...

Its possible someone from that generation would want to know why you don't bother with spell check.
Simply not knowing something isn't cause for cussing, neither for that matter is a difference of opinion.
I knew all of your questions, without looking them up, but that doesn't mean much since I'm sixty and we learned about that in fifth grade.

Well, I know the 13 stripes are for the 13 original colonies, and that's about it. I fail to see how not knowing that, or the rest of that information, makes one stupid, or why I or anyone else should care.

This generation is stupid about a lot more things than flag etiquette. That is something you can look up easily. Common sense and courtesy are much more more difficult.

If I answer without the internet, how will you know? Should I yell out the window and hope you're listening?

Considering some public schools make kids sign waivers to say the Pledge of Allegiance, I wouldn't say they're stupid, but ignorant.
