    has a neat flag

    It reminds me a Jasper Johns painting: Flag (Moratorium).

    Here's what a gallery selling a reproduction for 800 bucks has to say...

    This work remains one of the most captivating and powerful images of the anti-Vietnam war movement. The image was commissioned to commemorate the anti-war Moratorium Marches that occurred in the fall of 1969 throughout the US.

    This work symbolizes the horrors of the Vietnam war; from the Agent Orange-esque coloring of the stars, to the deathly green Army camouflage of the stripes, to the singular white bullet hole in the center.

    I don't know how accurate that is. I never learned the backstory.
