If I may, for the sake of argument. There is a difference between a flag and the replication of a flag. A sticker on a bike, is a picture of a flag, its not the flag. A painting of a flag on a truck, lure, or any other structure is a painting, not a flag. A flag picture on a sweathshirt is a picture or emblem, not a flag.
I believe these rules apply to actual American Flag, not a replica.
I would think the military has pretty high standards for following these rules, but - flag stickers and emblems appear on military aircraft, tanks, jeeps, etc - yet their not taken off at night, their out in inclement weather, etc. Very different than an actual flag.
My 2 cents, and I've convinced myseld Im right

forget everything I just said...........
The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to
it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any
nature.
(h) The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying,
or delivering anything.
(i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner
whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or
handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or
boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising
signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.
