I think, as an insight into US culture, it could help us non-US readers understand books set in the US better than we would otherwise.
Kolenka has contributed excellent posts about the symbolism; but I'm also understanding the differences between our cultures in terms of behaviour.
The question: 'what sort of person would display their flag outside their home' has very different answers in the US, where it seems to be normal, than in the UK, where it's rare and hence viewed more warily.
