WASHINGTON, D.C. – The traitorous Confederate battle flag has been banned by the United States Marines.
A directive was released by U.S. Marines leadership in recent days that outlines how the Confederate flag would be removed from their military installations. The flag in the crosshairs flew high over 150 years ago as Southern states attempted to leave the Union and those traitors battled true Americans in the North to preserve the Union. Even though the South was crushed in 1865 and the Civil War ended, compromises by the North to end the fighting allowed remnants of hate such as statues of Southern leaders and the flag of losers to remain in the American life.
Highlights of the directive include:
THIS MARADMIN DIRECTS MARINE CORPS COMMANDERS TO IDENTIFY, AND REMOVE THE DISPLAY OF THE CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG OR ITS DEPICTION WITHIN WORK PLACES, COMMON-ACCESS AREAS, AND PUBLIC AREAS ON THEIR INSTALLATIONS.
THE MARINE CORPS SHALL REMOVE THE CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG FROM ALL INSTALLATION PUBLIC SPACES AND WORK AREAS IN ORDER TO SUPPORT OUR CORE VALUES, ENSURE UNIT COHESION AND SECURITY, AND PRESERVE GOOD ORDER AND DISCIPLINE.
THE TERM “CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG” REFERS TO THE BATTLE FLAG CARRIED BY CONFEDERATE ARMIES DURING THE CIVIL WAR, MOST NOTABLY BY THE ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA, BUT ALSO WAS CARRIED BY OTHER CONFEDERATE STATES’ ARMIES. THE CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG HAS VARIOUS COLOR SCHEMES AND CONFIGURATIONS AND IS GENERALLY DESCRIBED AS A FLAG WITH A RED OR BLUE FIELD WITH TWO BLUE OR RED DIAGONAL LINES (ALSO KNOWN AS THE HERALDIC SYMBOL SALTIRE) AND WHITE STARS.
THE FOLLOWING ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE DEFINITION.
4.B.1. DISPLAYS WHERE THE CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG IS DEPICTED, BUT NOT THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE DISPLAY. FOR EXAMPLE, WORKS OF ART, EDUCATIONAL, OR HISTORICAL DISPLAYS DEPICTING A CIVIL WAR BATTLE WHERE THE CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG IS PRESENT, BUT NOT THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE WORK.
4.B.2. STATE FLAGS WHICH INCORPORATE THE CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG.
4.B.3. STATE ISSUED LICENSE PLATES WITH A DEPICTION OF THE CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG.
4.B.4. CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS’ GRAVE SITES.
4.B.5. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SPECIFY EVERY POSSIBLE EXCEPTION THAT MAY APPLY.

If I was black I would be so embarrassed by the patronizing democrat party. At the same time one life matters but the 18 that got murdered in Chicago in one day don’t,
The millions of aborted black babies …. who cares … the 49% literacy rate in Detroit.
It’s ok as long as the public schools get more funding. As long as I can riot and get free stuff it’s all good. The Marxist policies are eliminating free thought, happiness, freedom, and eliminating any hope you may have had at American exceptionalism.
Your not black and you have no idea how black people feel. Your white privilege is showing.
Oh sure. Roll out the race card first thing, and go get yo free shit.
I don’t need free shit. How’s your unemployment going?
I was taught that the government, and the armed services, protected Americans rights.
What comes to mind about the Marines banning a flag, is the stifling of freedom of speech.
It was ruled a long time ago that displaying something, can/is considered speech. The Marine corps is cowering away from the leftist snowflakes, that would never join the military in the first place.
So, the Marines are helping to destroy the Bill Of Rights, little by little. We already knew that the Democrats were. Pretty soon their emblem really will be a duck on a beach ball.
FO. You serve in the girl scouts or were you a brownie?
Once a marine, always a marine. So it seems the marines will be the first military units to shoot down American civilians, when we have to stand up to our government with weapons. Semper Fi.
Why celebrate the losers of a war? I guess if you want to celebrate treasonous losers. You’re the same group that need a participation trophy.
It is part of our history, right?
Hopefully you live long enough to see no American history. Because yesterday never happened. Won’t that be a wonderful America.
In order to get votes, got to do what the snowflakes want. Next thing you know, the Marines will have to supply “safe spaces”, so those that want can have a good cry in private.
Ain’t that the truth!
What branch of our military service did you honorably serve? Only the weak and cowardly make your type of comments!!
Not exactly!!!
Semper Fi. You asswipes can bite me. Marines forever!
turn coat jar head.
F.O. grunt
I AM THE INFANTRY, QUEEN OF BATTLE !!!
You can ban the flag, but you can’t ban the loyalty.
Going to miss the 2nd place civil war flag.
Gone from American history, but not forgotten. The thin skinned snowflakes win again.
