I genuinely have no idea why there's concern about "the proper way" to fold a flag. It's a piece of cloth.
I know a lot of folks in the US don't understand my view, for what it's worth.

I guess it's a cultural thing. Americans seem to be a lot more invested in their flag than other nationalities. As I said I don't understand it, but to each their own.
