Some Marines DO put the flag patch on their shoulder. It's on backwards because the Marines do not want to see the flag "in retreat", instead it's always charging forward. HOWEVER, they take it off while entering combat because that bright red/white stripes tend to ruin the whole point of camoflage.

Interesting.. I didn't know that. I recognized the diggie cammies right away, but I had no explanation for it.. that's why I asked for another pic. And yes I know why the flag is facing that way. It's the same for soldiers, except they wear it on their right shoulder.
Regardless, the soldiers in the pic in the article are clearly not Marines.
