Public Law 94-344 , known as the Federal Flag Code , covers the rules for handling and displaying the American flag. While the federal code doesn’t include penalties for misusing the flag, it does make clear that the flag is a living symbol and should be respected and treated as such.

Is that saying that flags should not be used as butt floss?

I prefer to see the flag when part of ones clothing like this. This way it really means something.

The patch always seems backwards to me.  I feel that the stripes should be on the right, not the left.

Depends on which shoulder it is worn on.  It should be worn so that it appears to be "flag forward" meaning as if the solder is moving forward while holding the flag.

So what we see  here is not the American flag,

It is a photograph.

If you asked people what they are stepping on would they mention the American flag in their answer?

Don't forget, bathing suites are labeled as such, just as everything else NOT labeled as a flag is. A doormat is labeled as a doormat, no matter what color it is.
