Pentagon's Flag Day Faux Pas Sparks Outrage

On June 14, 2025, the US Pentagon issued a Flag Day greeting that mistakenly used the Russian tricolor instead of the American flag. This error immediately caused a wave of indignation among social media users. Many accused the Pentagon's social media team of incompetence and even pro-Russian sympathies. "This is unbelievable! They used the wrong flag!" one user commented. The incident is particularly sensitive given the ongoing geopolitical situation and the war in Ukraine. While the Pentagon has yet to officially comment, the incident highlights the importance of attention to detail in official communications, especially during times of international tension. The incident also underscores the power of social media in holding institutions accountable.
