Flag-waving is a fallacious argument or propaganda technique used to justify an action based on the undue connection to nationalism or patriotism or benefit for an idea, group or country. It is a variant of argumentum ad populum.
Claim: The folding of a U.S. flag traditionally incorporates thirteen separate folds because each of the folds has a special meaning. mixture: WHAT'S TRUE: Custom has ascribed specific meanings to each of the 13 folds applied to a U.S. flag. WHAT'S FALSE: Flags are not folded 13 time because of these meanings.
