Thanks for clarifying, is consistent with the decades-long resistance in removing Confederate statues, et cetera from free American public spaces.

You've made the choice to honor the Confederacy's Lost Cause over honoring the United States of America.

And what makes you believe you know or understand what the confederate flag means to those that display it.

some have no respect for private property. Best to watch your wallet and other earthly possessions when in their presence.

I don't understand why the Left feels entitled to STEAL, intimidate, commit violent acts, throw people out of restaurants, then harass them, etc due to a disagreement in opinion, or that they don't like something.

Many who join the military do it because it's an attractive career option.

With the exception of a few areas, such as Atlanta, and Huntsville, much of the South has been economically depressed for some time. It's no wonder that many from the south go into the military.

Why they continue to wave the flag of traitors and losers when they are in the U.S military is somewhat of a mystery.

That's not why we join. You clearly understand little about the South.
