Military dilemma

Why is this even a thing?

Imagine the outrage if a member of the military affixed a Russian, Nazi, Japanese, British, North Korean, or North Viet Nam flag to any part of their uniform. We fought these people, at least the ones we either knew, assumed, or were told were the bad ones. American’s died fighting these people. Families lost sons, daughter, brothers and sisters, husbands, and wives, fighting these people.

Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Mike Gilday, directed his staff to begin crafting an order prohibiting the Confederate battle flag from all public spaces and work areas aboard Navy installations, ships, aircraft, and submarines for the sake of unit cohesion, preservation of good order and discipline, and upholding the Navy’s core values of honor, courage and commitment.

On land, the US Army is consideringn removing Confederate leaders’ name from bases, and US Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley are open to holding a “bipartisan conversation” about renaming nearly a dozen such bases.

The Confederate flag represents a country that took arms against the United States for the worst possible reason, and although it might be considered a symbol of Southern pride and heritage, which is fine if that is your heritage, these sentiments do not deserve governmental support, nor be honored by those who did not believe in what that war was all about from the Southern point of view.

The symbol has increasingly become a rallying call for white supremacists.
