In medieval and early modern times, the flag bearer was basically your radio guy. He was supposed to keep the flag held up high at all times, as if the entire fighting group's life depended on it, cause very often it did.
And if it's that important to hold a flag up, over hundreds of years, weird traditions develop around the practice.
