In the military, especially in boot camp, there are many reasons to bawl out a recruit. Flags, however, are not especially cheap and I really doubt they destroy them for trivial reasons. I have seen some really beat up flags in museums that were carried in battle. TP ushistory.org My flag touched the ground. Do I need to destroy it? No. You should, of course, try to avoid having the flag touch the ground. But if it does, you should correct the situation immediately. If the flag has been dirtied, you should clean it by hand with a mild soap solution and dry it well before returning it to use.
