Commandant of the Marine Corps bans all Confederate symbols

[n_huffhines]

I think we all know the answer is yes. I would be most concerned about the recent policy of allowing Hijabs. No way I would turn my back on a fellow soldier wearing a rag on their head.

Please go find a cabin in the woods and live out your days there

The argument about Sikhs serving in the military was one of the dumbest ever.

Positive stereotype: in my experience, Sikhs are the loveliest group of people on earth.

I've never seen a Confederate flag on the 50 or so based I've been to worldwide

Me neither. Must be a one time occurrence that got someone’s feathers ruffled.

 

[USMC-TNVOL]

Would this be acceptable to you?

That would be a hell no from him. Probably thinks that’s a hijab as well.

 

[Purple Tiger]

Come and take my confederate flag.

Are you on a Marine base? If not, WGAF.

How many states display the confederate flag on issued license plates? Been awhile but up north is rare, as far as Maryland but I’ve seen them there too as well as Virginia. Don’t see anyone destroying cars, but hey let’s tear down that statue.

Keep your flag. Announce to everyone who what you are. I don’t think anyone is advocating taking someone’s personal flag. We are talking about displaying these in an official capacity in the military and in schools.

The Union Jack is the flag of Great Britain and is not a American flag.

The navy flies a naval jack..the union jack...its American.

 

[FLVOL_79]

He probably meant the Navy Jack.

Well, they’re banning everything else with the confederate flag.

The answer is yes. Brazil, which is where the majority of African slaves went has been trying to figure out how to actually give reparations to the decedents of slaves for years.

Brazil is strange place. Some their believe race exists on a spectrum, and you can move “up or down” (whatever that means) based on other factors such as education, wealth, and class level.

Weird.

I never saw the Navy Union Jack overseas. All the Navy pilots and personal wore First Navy Jack.

The navy jack is literally called the Union Jack...since like 1777...

Www.navy.mil

I only ever interacted with SEALS who pretty much wore whatever they wanted.

Dude, why are you being difficult for no reason? Whenever people hear Union Jack, they think of the British flag, not a US naval jack.

Because THIS IS VN PF!

The British considered the people fighting for American independence as traitors in the same manner as the North considered the South but yeah to the victor go the spoils and the victor get's to write the history and all. The SJWs will eventually destroy all of the Revolutionary monuments and such as they were the original treasonous slave owning white racists.

Well, our flag does have all that harsh red, white, and blue. No pastels or pinks or purples or yellows ... Some day somebody's going to figure out the Confederate flag was red, white, and blue; and then all heck's gonna break loose. And that St Andrew's Cross on thew Confederate flag ... that's got to really ruffle some feathers.

 

[Arclight]

ZZzzz

 

[AM64]

It doesn’t. It’s the silly argument consistently used to downplay genuine criticism of monuments and symbols glorifying the confederacy and its leaders.

You do realize that most Confederate leaders identified more with their states than with the US ... even though many were West Point grads and US military officers? That was back when people still recognized that we were a collection of states united against common foes and believed in the "all other things" clause. At least if the Confederacy had won, we'd have set back federalism by decades and either been reunited by now or at least allies like Canada and the US.

It's always seemed to me that making exceptions to regulation wear to accommodate someone's religion violates the constitutional rules regarding religious preference.
