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

[bodecea]

I think we need a new Marine Corps Commandant

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

Tearing down statues of Confederate soldiers is stupidity at its peak

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

You are really confused. You must only have a Jr High School knowledge of the Civil War. Typical for an uneducated low Information Moon Bat.

Succession was legal but that asshole Lincoln decided to kill Americans to solve a political issue. He invaded parts of America with a thug army to kill Americans. Lincoln raised his filthy army to kill Americans. Davis raised his regiments to protect Americans. Lincoln was the traitor to the Constitution.

Take you filthy hate of America and you ignorant knowledge of history and shove it up your ass.

Great point

Will the Marine Corps refuse to do training on US Army forts named after Confederate generals?

as long as they have a politically biased Commandant its a possibility

Those con-federate generals started their careers in the U.S. Army. But I agree that if the North had handled the peace correctly, those names should have been stricken from the Army's rolls.....not used to name bases.

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

Being proud of our history does not make them racists

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....

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

you are wrong about that too

Some of the Union states had slaves

 

[bodecea]

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?

or members of the Nazi Party of America....can they fly the nazi flag and put up memorials to hitler?

I have NO DOUBT that there are some on the Right who see that as an ok thing to do.

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.

You and your fellow libs are just engaging in a hate fest

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

What the **** 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

Secession was legal...no one is disputing that. Starting a war by firing on a U.S. installation isn't. If the con-federacy had left peacefully, we would not be having this discussion.....but nooooooooooooooooooo.

Oh.....you are asserting that the con-federacy didn't think of itself as a separate, therefore, a foreign country? What was secession then?

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....

In the Marine Corps?

Thats what the Commandant just ordered

Are you really this stupid? It does make a difference of why they fought. They fought to protect their families from the filthy ass invaders.

Our Founding Fathers told us Americans that there will be times when we needed to take up arms against a tyrannical government.

Four of the states that joined the Confederacy were signers to the Declaration of Independence. Many of the Confederacy leaders were descendants of the Founding Fathers.

A third of the Confederate States first chose not to secede but changed their minds when that asshole Lincoln declared he was going to raise an Army to kill Americans.

Why did those con-federate morons start a war then? Talk about stupid......

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

Fool they took up arms against the United Statesvthat is treason.

Do you know of any Confederate soldier that was convicted of treason?

No...and that was the BIG mistake of the post-war peace.

we hate people who love traitors to our country

we hate people who love a deranged psychopath as president

we hate people who demonize us and call us traitors and talk about CIVIL WAR so they can kill us.....

now please explain why you hate ME simply because I defend gay rights and don't want a lying con man embarrassing our country?

No it isnt

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

In April 1862, the Confederacy passed the first conscription law in either Confederate or Union history, the Conscription Act, which made all able bodied white men between the ages of 18 and 35 liable for a three-year term of service in the Provisional Army.

Civil War Conscription Laws | In Custodia Legis: Law Librarians of Congress

It also extended enlistments, involuntarily, by three years.

And that's when many areas of the con-federate states became Union enclaves.

Hotheads in South Carolina thought the Union was preparing to attack them

but if cooler heads on both sides had prevailed the war could have been avoided and hundreds of thousands of soldiers spared

"They were Americans before and after the war"

but DURING the war, AFTER THEY ACTUALLY, IN WRITING, signed and dated and notarized, SECEDED from the US and started A VERY DIFFERENT NOT THE USA CONFEDEratE STATES of NOT AMERICA...at that point they had OFFICIALLY disavowed themselves as REAL Americans and were NO LONGER American citizens.

Then they should have known better than any one that their actions were treason.

A third of the Confederate States first chose not to secede but changed their minds when that asshole Lincoln declared he was going to raise an Army to kill Americans.

No he was raising an Army to kill racist, traitorous Confederates.

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.

How sad that you know so little about the south

I know a great deal about the South...I'm half Southern, I've lived there for many years....I have walked and studied many Civil War battlefields....you don't even know your own con-federate flag.

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

Any excuse will do, it is hard to defend wrongdoing.

and it still goes on today in non Confederate places
