Yes, it's a flag of surrender. And also a literal dishtowel. They used what they had, which wasn't much, apparently, lmao

I think I’ll start hanging these in my house and office and a bumper sticker on my car and shirts and wallets and make it my personality because it’s our heritage
Why waste money on a flag of surrender you'll only use once when you have a perfectly good towel? It's just sensible economic policy
Legitimately can't argue with that
it's not like people go into war with the plan to surrender. as a soldier, you'll get weird looks if you pack a flag specifically for surrendering. like "don't jinx it man"
That's a towel.
I was going to say... "looks like a dishrag..."
I don't know if I would go so far as to say it was the final flag.
