I'm still trying to figure why a county sheriff needs to have a US flag on their shoulder. Wouldn't a state flag make more sense?

That's one of the most ridiculous statements I've heard in awhile.....

Why? It is on Mil uniforms for identification and working with other nations that might have similar uniforms. That same purpose at Sheriff level would ideally be some county identifier but who knows the county flags?

If the purpose is patriotism like the must have flag pin, ok...

Pretty sure that's the only reason it's worn, and the only reason needed for wearing it.

That's what happens why everyone buys "cool guy" gear in magazines and end up looking like tools.
