A flag that represents 4 years of treachery and LOSING is supposed to be an important Southern heritage?Odd that they would be stupid enough to think their heritage is wrapped up in a flag representing only 4 years...and 4 years of loser treason against the U.S. at that. That Southern education of the time, I guess.You are misrepresenting the meaning of "fighting under...". A company of soldiers or more accurately, an individual or group of soldiers pulling out a flag and displaying it on the battlefield after the battle is not anything like fighting under the banner of flag.
Crews of individual APC's and even Huey's or other vehicles or aircraft in Vietnam sometimes displayed flags or even affixed decals or art depicting the confederate flag. No one complained, but that is not the same as a unit fighting under the flag.
In any case, the photo of the confederate flag at Shuri appears to be a photo shop. An older photo shows the soldier displaying an American flag. The whole story came from someone relating a story told by a officer killed shortly after the incident. A murky story to say the least.
you are quibbling over semantics.
these american soldiers and sailors fought and fought bravely, and they flew the flag of their regional homeland, which has for their entire lives been part of the greater whole of the us.
they were member of the us army and navy, and proud of their southern roots and heritage.
your bigoted spin on the issue is not the point. that fact that you disagree with them is not the point.
they were members of the us army and navy and proud of their southern roots and heritage.
Stick with your Dukes of Hazzard argument. It was better.

that is your spin on the issue.
do you really think that us soldiers fighting in okinowa were treasonous?
You need lots of attention, now don't you. Are you an orphan?
It's already been proven that the confederate flag did not fly at Okinawa, turdball.
