Sikoriko,
Union Pacific Railroad has applied a very large American flag to the sides of their new locomotives for several years now. A very large reflective peel and stick type. Though the locomotives are run through a wash rack occasionally the flags take a beating out in the elements. Many folks on the railroad forums jump all over U.P. for the disrespect they show the flags on their locos.
Sure, if the flag is not lit up at night it should come down. I look at the respect that the folks show in displaying the flag first, Union Pacific, too. I don't see a purposeful disrespect being shown by the flag not coming down at night or not being maintained perfectly on the sides of the locos.
Therefor I give a pass. My flag in my front lawn flies 24/7/365. I have every intention of placing a flood light out there but that hasn't happened yet.
Disrespectful? Yes, though none intended.
Best,
David
