How the hell does it support that? Like most people hell 99 of people who support the flag dont support it because racism, they support it not for the confederacy, but for thier own belief in the patriotic south.Their current patriotism and love of the Constitution is not in question, I want to make that clear.
But that doesn't change the origin of the flag, as the symbol of an enemy of our nation, of slavery, and the of white supremacists.
I know some people outside the South like to use the flag as a general 'fuck you' to whatever level of the government they dislike, or simply to piss off and troll people who are not ok with it. It directly and materially supports and enables the Lost Cause mythology, and all the ugliness that it has caused.
Confederate symbols do not belong on government property, at the very least, and your bosses seem to agree.
The diffrence is we cant have Swastika or things similar. Since we have the EO policy in the Army, anything that could cause offense like a confederate flag, can not be hanged on base.It’s a flag you people are insane are they going to be pissed if someone puts up a unsc flag or the flag of the Roman Empire. If the flag is in someone bunk it should be allowed under freedom of expression you don’t get to tell me what a symbol means to me your not a freaken mind reader. Just because something offends you or someone else should have no bearing especially in America my god how is this hard.
Off base housing they dont hive a shit.
