You might not be able to hit a soldier, but you usually can hit an army.

The flag just gives you something to focus on.

It’s like the urinal cakes. Just being there draws fire, even if it’s a college bar and they mostly miss the urinal.

If you can't hit an army unit, you deserve to lose the war. An army is a HUGE fucking unit. Company colors is what you're likely referring to.
