Top U.S. Marine Orders All Confederate Symbols Be Removed From Corps Bases

[bodecea]

The valiant men of the Confederacy fought to preserve State's Rights as outlined in the Constitution. ...

State's rights to do what?

Just like calling it their "peculiar institution".......

 

[bodecea]

Well... one more attempt by a leftist to ERASE HISTORY.

This kind of crap is EXACTLY what the NAZI BROWN SHIRTS did. There is NO DIFFERENCE.

This is the modern day DEMOCRAT PARTY acting JUST like NAZIS.

Sad to hear that you are so traumatized by the US Marines not flying a traitor's flag.

What the hell is white southern culture?

Better than northern culture

The only thing that makes the South livable now is Air Conditioning.

How they must long for the good ol daze

Marines are pussies, queers and assholes.

They use to not be that way.

When 5th Marines took Shuri Castle on Okinawa they raised the Confederate battle flag.

It's fun to watch you dic suckers disrespect US troops in favor of your need to worship confederate traitors..

Seems your racism trumps your patriotism......

It is the Marine Commandant asshole that has disrespected American Southern heritage so he can go fuck himself.

He must have picked up that cultural hatred from the Taliban.

Poor con-federates.......poor poor con-federates.

Fact is that the Confederacy means two differ things to two different groups.

For one group it represents pride in their history, and has nothing to do with repression.

For the other group it's all about repression.

How can someone have pride in a four year war started for slavery and then they got their asses kicked?

 

[bodecea]

Sad, really. I wonder how their fellow troops from the North and black troops felt about their idiocy.

Tearing down statues of Confederate soldiers is stupidity at its peak

Confederate soldiers were traitors, why should they be honored with statues.

Confederate soldiers were not traitors

its hate-filled rhetoric like that which seeks to divide Americans all over again

They rebelled against their own country. The very definition of traitor.

The south did not have to “keep up” with the north economically

they had their own economy and economic intersts

the southern state were agricultural and had cotton they wanted to sell to english and french textile mills

they also wanted to buy cheeper manufactured products from england but were prevented from doing so by the north

And the south relied heavily on the free labor of slaves to pick their cotton and farm their fields. You unwittingly just admitted the reason the south fought to secede in their failed attempt to keep slavery legal.

By 1860 slavery was an inherited system older than anyone alive at the time

but it only benefited a wealthy few

it could not have lasted much longer with or without the impatience of the abolitionists who pushed the nation into a bloody civil war

 

[bodecea]

Moon Bats hate everything, including our troops

More idiots...glad to know that's gonna not be allowed anymore.

 

[bodecea]

I hear that often. But its funny, the confederacy wrote a constitution that did not allow state's rights.

.............................

Could states admitted to the confederacy decide for themselves on the topic of slavery? No. It had to be legal forever.

Plus, every single con-federate states, in their documents of secession, stated it was over slavery.

Racist serving in the military don't leave their racist beliefs behind.

Being proud of our history does not make them racists

How sad that "your history" is made up of ONLY a four year war where your side started it and then got your asses kicked. Even the NAZI Third Reich lasted twice as long as the Con-federacy.

You're proud the south started a war with fellow Americans so they could keep their slaves?

What the fuck is wrong with you?

It was never as simple as that

slave owners were a tiny percentage of the south, and almost as numerous in the north

soldiers who fought the war did not do so to preserve slavery for others or to take it away

this just pandering to black people by guilt-ridden white liberals

Doesn't matter why they fought, they took up arms against the United States of America which is treason.

No it isnt

the southern states exercised their legal right to secede from the union and southern men enlisted in their nations military

So what if the Southern states wanted to secede today, would that be acceptable.

Top U.S. Marine orders all Confederate symbols be removed from Corps bases


First it was the state of Virginia removing Confederate day from the list of state holidays, thus destroying white southern culture -- now our own US military is basically siding with the traitors and haters of white culture instead of being on the side of the Confederacy??

"The commandant of the Marine Corps has ordered that all symbols connected to the Confederacy be removed from Marine installations, according to reports. Commandant General David Berger is said to have instructed that all Marine bases remove any "Confederate-related paraphernalia" worldwide, reported Task and Purpose. The order also arrives after a survey conducted by the Military Times revealed 36 percent of active-duty troops say they have personally witnessed examples of white nationalism or racist ideology from service members within their ranks in the last few months."

This is outrageous -- hopefully Trump will put a stop to this...because let's be honest, this is basically white cultural genocide...if Trump doesn't stop this, if he doesn't maintain Confederate pride within the greatest military in the world, a military that the Confederates fought so valiantly for -- then that would be a total slap in the face to his base, if not white culture in general....

I think we need a new Marine Corps Commandant

-
Why, because the only flag he allows to be flown is the US Flag.

Because we need warriors in charge not politically correct suck asses who want more women in combat

A question, have you ever served?

You have asked me many times and my answer is always the same

its none of your business

Uh huh. BTW, why is it that those talking of their precious Southern Con-federate culture keep parading the WRONG flag? You'd think they'd know their own history.

seems to me the only part of THEIR history that was different from the rest of the country was......er.......uh.....SLAVERY!

they were PROUD to be SLAVERS!

they were PROUD to consider blacks; filth, animals, property.....

I can see how they would be proud of that history....

Just wanted to see if you were going to be truthful. Any military unit must be ONE cohesive unit and that unit is less effective when there is turmoil such as racist symbols being allowed to be displayed by some members of that unit. So the Commandant is wise to ban that racist gargage from the Corp.

The Confederate flag is no more a racist symbol than the American flag

This Commandant is attacking any symbol of the Confederacy just to appease black lives matter radicals

Except....so far...we've not seen a picture of the Con-federate flag in any of this thread's posts. Don't you even know the flag you are supposedly defending?

 

[Superbadbrutha]

The difference is the United States of America attempted to right the wrong that was being committed and that racist trash the Confederacy tried to continue the wrong.

This Commandant is flying the ONLY symbol that needs to be flown by the US Marines and that is the American flag.

The issues that created secession only partially involved slavery and did not motivate soldiers in the field at all

this is just pandering to the black hate that liberals are promoting

Sorry, no pandering. So do you think it is ok for service members to just display any flag they would like to. So if a Hispanic wanted to display a Mexican Flag that is ok.

The drive to rewrite history and pander to weak minded radicalized black people goes far beyond just a flag

So should a service member of Hispanic heritage be able to fly a Mexican flag?

No

the Mexican flag represents a foreign country

But Confederates were Americans

Not at the time they didn't consider themselves as Americans, they were traitorous Confederates.

This has been the policy in the Army for years. The Marines are bringing up the rear.

No statues are being torn down. Why are you lying so easily?

Probably not

even I concede that America is stronger as one nation than two
