SPC (Join to see) - I say "full color", unless in a field environment. As long as it is not the Confederate or Gay Pride flag, I guess. [It's a joke ... no hate mail, please].. :-)

SGT Christian Chifor - You are correct, if he was looking for an official answer... I took his question as asking for opinions, not regulatory guidance.

All Soldiers will wear the full-color U.S. flag embroidered insignia on utility and organizational uniforms, unless

With respect, a representation f a flag that is not in color, is not a flag, per the definition of the flag in Chapter 4 of the United States Code. So if we are to wear a "flag" it should be in color. Subdued color representations of the flag should only be worn when tactically appropriate, or more specifically, when wearing bright colors is tactically inappropriate.
