They could use this guy to justify more military action against us.

I'm not saying there couldn't be something deeper, but sometimes a flag just flaps because of the momentum imparted to it when it was screwed into the base and a lack of air resistance to halt that momentum, ya know? Newton's first law, but for people. Or flags, in the metaphor. And on the moon, in case that wasn't clear. It's about a conspiracy about the moon landing being fa... I'm explaining too much, you get it.
