Yeah, all seems v. fishy to me. Perhaps photoshop or something. Why leave up the British flag? They hate the British more than anyone (including the US). Don't make no sense to me.
You guys saw this dude's retraction right? It turns out this part of France was liberated by the British Rangers. The American's were miles and miles away. They never sold American flags and the empty flag pole is for the Brit Ranger flag which is flown once a year... http://www.thedissidentfrogman.com/dacha/000188.html
