This is a hell of a stretch. Gold decoration on the US flag has been used many times where it was clearly not attached to any military organization. And gold fringe is not the same as a yellow border on the flag. It's an additional decoration added to the normal national flag.
You can buy these flags on Amazon. The fringe means nothing other than an extravagant decoration of the standard US flag. These posts trying to read something into a decorative fringe just make me lol. Search for fringed US flag on any shopping site and you'll find lots of options to purchase. Hell, half the flags in my neighborhood are fringed flags.
I can also buy a Norwegian flag on Amazon. Does that mean its just a regular USA flag with colors arranged in a different pattern for decoration or is it different because it is Norwegian?
I see your pov, but just consider this. In the military we have very strict rules for the colors. Not everyone in the military really cares that much about it, but strict rules do exist. There are many other ways a flag could be decorated, just look at the thin blue line. But the gold fringe is the only decoration we are authorized (and sometimes required) to use.
That being said, there are flags we use that have the fringe and some that don’t. I won’t even pretend to tell you what the difference is, but I will tell you that we would never carry anything other than the national standard, with or without gold fringe.what this tells me is that there was/is a reason for the gold fringe. Maybe it truly was pure decoration. But why did we need to decorate it in the first place? Why aren’t we allowed to decorate it in any other way? Just something to ponder.
If the Constitution, represented by the flag, and the law of the flag title 4: 1,2,3 specifically says to add nothing and put nothing above the flag, and yet, certain people do it, all the while you are noticing the destruction of the Constitution:
What then could be the reason to alter the flag? What then does.it signal in terms of contract? Has the contract been altered?
Nothing is coincidental, despite the fact that these changes are presented as something they want you to belief.

Why is it added. Which other flags are decorated in this fashion?

Therefore it has no meaning?
Bingo. It's just decoration that may or may not be used by whoever's buying the flags that day. Zero symbolic meaning, no matter how hard we try.

Then ask yourself.

Lots of things are coincidental.
cohencidental .... yes. But in politics nothing is co-incidental.
Nonsense.
Nice dodge.
You are not the sole arbiter of symbolism, and you never will be, no matter how hard you try.
