thank you for including the link explaining what the final picture is. this was my first time hearing about the flag of truce and it was a nice way to learn about it.

TLDR for those wondering, it's a rag that was used as the white surrender flag at the end of the civil war

The first line is supposed to say "I prefer the real confederate flag".
