Example: [Collected on the Internet, 2000] President Clinton reportedly plans to visit China and Vietnam before the end of his term, and, according to high-ranking Navy officers, the commander in chief will alter long-standing naval regulations to allow the American flag to fly below that of Vietnam when he sails into the communist nation's territorial waters on a U.S. Navy ship . . . visceral outrage is resulting from a proposed change to Navy regulations that would result in the American flag being displayed subordinate to the flag of Vietnam.Origins: The Vietnam flag flap story stemmed from a single source, the web publication WorldNetDaily. Nothing that was described in the article actually happened, other than the trip to Vietnam. After attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Brunei, President Clinton arrived in Vietnam on Thursday, November 16. Clinton traveled from Vietnam to Brunei by air, not by sea. No U.S. Navy ship flew an American flag subordinate to a Vietnamese flag.
