All it signifies however is sloppiness.

Without Prejudice.
To knowledge, the "flags" are video screens and therefore there would have been more control over as to what would be seen. Nine stripes has a great significance in view of the Articles of Confederation.

Indeed, the 23 might be more of a occultic meaning than referencing "23 states remaining" after the civil war. But, the significance of the of 9-ish stripes and reduced number of stars in two totally separate settings is no doubt at least..interesting. In the fields in both settings, you get at the most 35 stars (I'd count about 28 stars w/ 9 stripes at Ft. Bragg and 34 to 35 stars in the other setting).
[And what u know there were "13 originals" and only 9 of those 13 remained since the Civil War.]
