There is something wrong with this picture...the flag on the soldiers uniform is reversed, but the signage on the wall appears to read right to left.

flag is right. that's how a properly hung flag would look when billowing in the wind while charging the enemy.

I believe a flag patch is made so that the colors are “streaming”. Imagine a moving flag pole, with the blue field clesest to the pole and you have the reason that the flag is reversed in such a patch.

That is the correct way to wear the flag on right arm. It implies that the flag is always moving forward...the American flag never retreats.
