I don’t disagree but I would think the only flag a soldier should have are the national flag, and any flag related to their position in the military.It’s a flag and again like you said most people see it as southern pride and not a racist symbol. This is dumb I know Hispanic Asian and black Americans who own those flags gah this is so dumb
Also the government should definitely not have gone after a flag after the civil rights act that’s stupid and hugely authoritarian.
Symbols can change.
The Military has good reason to since ya know, they were traitors..That flag means a lot of different things to different people. I understand why they did it. It shuts down an easy talking point for the Far Left. However, the Far Left will never be satisfied.
Please note that I say this as a Yankee with no love for the Confederacy.
Well no offense to them but our nation was sorta founded on treason, so it's hard and seem's hypocritical of them to critic others by saying treason is wrong in that sense.The Military has good reason to since ya know, they were traitors..
I mean there are multiple bases named after Confederate generalsOne wonders what the Navy will do about the name of the USS Chancellorsville since ya know its named after Confederate victory.
And members of the senate want them renamed as as wellI mean there are multiple bases named after Confederate generals

*points at destroyed Washington, and Teddy Roosevelt statues.Traitors to their country. Not to their state. There was no claritt regarding states or federal authority until the American Civil War answered that issue decisively.
And yeah it seems like a symbol of Southern Heritage more then advocacy of secession so it seems dumb to me on that level as well.
But Yeah I'm sure they'll do a purge of all Confederate symbols and names from the government and public sphere First. Then move in correcting all the bad actors regarding indigenous people and colonialism. Then they'll move down to all the slave owners in general and rinse and repeat.
The reason it'll take a long time is because each push will have the Conservatives compromise in only giving up some symbols. Then wait a few years and give up on those and compromise on even less controversial symbols and so on.
I don't think they're aware. I doubt they read history books.One wonders what the Navy will do about the name of the USS Chancellorsville since ya know its named after Confederate victory.
The real question that matters is does it cause disharmony in the ranks? I could see a confederate flag doing that. I don't see people caring if the name of their base is named Ft Hood.And yeah it seems like a symbol of Southern Heritage more then advocacy of secession so it seems dumb to me on that level as well.

they are already doing that, try to keep up.
I dont disagree, I just snark at this because otherwise you would have to cry at the absurdity.Am keeping up. Opened several threads/posts on the topic already in
I was obviously referring to a government or congressional level in my post.
Nice attempt at a dunk though. I'm sure it works on Twitter.

Those symbols are not of an enemy/traitors that 100,000's died to defeat.Then ban all cultural, ethnic and advocacy symbols in the military for violating military harmony.
