What is in the truck of a flag pole?

As far as the truth, now i am not sure. Where i get my information is from the military soldier board study guides. The soldier boards were held to distinguish the soldier with the most knowledge in all military categories including rules, history, standards and procedures to name a few. Boards were also played a part in deciding if a soldier should be promoted in the ranks of non-commissioned officer (NCO) E5-E10. I have been in many soldier boards including two for soldier of the year for Descom and 8th army command. I can tell you that question was asked on almost every board and what i was given to study and the answer i gave on these boards were this. A truck is the mechanism at the top of a military flagpole that supports the upper wheel through which the rope that raises and lowers the flag is controlled. What is inside it are a razor blade, a match, and a .45 caliber bullet. The razor is for cutting out the stars of the flag the match is for burning the field and the 45 was the last Act of defiance towards the enemy by taking your own life as commanding officer. That is what I read in the manuals it is what I gave as my answers on the boards and whether it is really true or not I really don't know.
