Donald Trump’s administration on Saturday was accused of promoting the Russian flag, on Flag Day.
The Department of Defense over the weekend wished social media a “Happy Flag Day!”
“Let us honor the emblem of our nation and the stars and stripes that unite us all. As we display our nations flag and reflect on the values it represents, let’s celebrate the freedom, courage and resilience that makes our country great,” the department stated Saturday.
The image attached to the post included two small images that appear to represent the Russian flag.

This color combo and layout has been used by the us military for badges and medals for a very long time.
It’s quite rare to not have red touch white
