The idea is the blue part of the flag with the stars is always raised the highest in honor of the States that makes up the USA.
Soldiers salute with the right hand so when they are at salute, the blue part is highest. This would not be the case if the flag was the same way as normally presented. Also, the US flag is always displayed to the right of all government organizations and military.
