I don’t understand this weird American obsession with flag. I was looking at some photos of Trump’s rallies. Flags everywhere - on shirts, hats, glasses etc. And this bizarre cult of the flag - “it cannot touch the ground” etc.

At the end of the day the flag is just a piece of cloth. If you worship any flag or take offense to any flag, you need to get a life.

    However, that wasn’t the only reason. The Pledge of Allegiance also was created to venerate the flag and “foster patriotism,”

    From your own link. To me sounds more plausible than “it was Big Flag!”
