And the slap in the face wasn’t the goose step (as horrible as that was) it was letting their soldiers touch the Olympic flag at all. That flag is a flag of peace and no host nation should be sending their army to handle it.
It just points out that
their government is the military.

After looking at the wikipedia articles on the last few Olympics, I found that there’s nota lot of info on who raised the flags, but I did find out that at Salt Lake the honor guard was made up of NYPD and FDNY, and at Sydney it was carried by Australians who had won gold medals at past games.
