Sorry for the slide but I came across the video which reminded me of the flag on Poppy Bush’s casket.
The video shows someone ironing the flag to be put on the casket of a fallen service member.
Poppy Bush’s flag wrinkled? That was an intentional act and message sent, imo.

Your second link wouldn’t let me on without a “subscription”, so I did a search. Found an opinion piece that remarked on how the flags were wrinkled for Bush, for RBG, for McCain, and for John Lewis.

Re Rumpled flag on Bush coffin:
A clear message to all who saw it.
Loved the first video of the military who assist the fallen on their way home. Brought tears to my eyes.
