Marine commandant banishes Confederate symbols from all Corps installations

[Submariner]

Good on the Marines

Marine Corps Commandant Gen. David Berger has ordered all Confederate-related paraphernalia to be removed from Marine Corps installations, his spokesman confirmed on Wednesday.

Military analyst B. A. Friedman first tweeted a document showing the commandant’s decision on Wednesday.

The document did not say when all of the Confederate-related paraphernalia needed to be removed by.

Berger’s spokesman confirmed to Task & Purpose that the commandant had sent a directive to his senior staff ordering all installations to get rid of symbols of the Confederate States of America.

so they don't have to walk around all day with a sad.

5. Good. No army in the world has killed more

Good. No army in the world has killed more Americans than the traitors of the CSA.

We don’t fly rising suns, swastikas, or hammer-and-sickles on our bases. Why would we post the stars and bars?

really doesn't belong anywhere but the history books.

9. Hooray! It only took 155 years.

Now, during annual medical physicals, kick out all soldiers with white supremacist and Nazi tattoos. I'll wait another hundred years.

18. There are no annual medical physicals for the vast majority.

Other than flight physicals, most enlistees get a physical when they go in, and that's it.

12. One or the other

It's about time these people proudly walking around with their Confederate flags and swastikas are traitors to America. How can you support both at the same time.

Plenty of Confederate names and memorials to get rid of.

17. While in the Navy at A school..

..a new guy moved into the room next door and promptly hung up a large stars and bars flag. Took a bunch of us, but we finally convinced him to take it down. He diddnt see it as being a racist symbol, but a symbol for being a rebel. We kinda opened his eyes to what it really stood for. Guy ended up being one of my best friends there.
