criticalpast.com./video/65675052753_1st-Marine-Division_Marine-climbs-hill_American-flag-raised_Shuri-CastleAt least be honest enough to tell the story or myth the way it is told. An New England officer from another unit complained and the General agreed to take it down. But it is more myth than real history. The small flag in question was attached to a broom stick sized branch and implanted not at the top, but on the side of a pile of rubble. Because the photo has shown up as an American flag, the photo is considered a photo shop. No known photo of the confederate flag flying at Shuri exist.Because the citizens of the places said they wanted it gone. Why do you ignore the confederate democrat history?You have been unable to provide evidence that the confederate battle flag was used as you are implying and hence the idea that WWII gave some big boost in popularity or historical significance to the flag is based on nothing more than your imagination. . You have used an example of one company displaying it after a battle during the larger battle of Okinawa. That and one ship, CL 56 the USS Columbia, named after Columbia, SC, that may have displayed it.
what reasons were used in the order to remove the flag from the castle?
was it because it was treasonous?
was it because it was hateful?
was it because it was racist?
the context of the question is the flag raised over castle shuri after the battle of okinawa.
a general who was the son of a confederate general ordered it lowered after several days.
he stated why he though it should be lowered.
it was not because it was treasonous.
it was not because it was hateful.
it was not because it was racist.
It was because americans from all over took part the battle, not just southerners.
Correll can't even give evidence of the one case he is trying to use.
