“Yup, the Confederacy was a foreign enemy that attacked the United States of America.”

I actually agree here. Perhaps this was harsh, but I wouldn’t want a Marine with a tattoo of a Britain, German or Japanese flag.

Marines have high standards. I’m sure he can join the Army.

He could could explain the the Stars and Bars commemorates his ancestors who were stripped of their rights and property because that they lived on the wrong side of the Mason-Dixon Line.

The Confederacy was not a foreign power.

They attempted to be one, but it didn’t work out.

I hope that was a tongue in cheek comment; I missed the /sarc tag.

The alternative is that you’re too stupid to recognize that the Confederacy was no more than a response to the “Barack Obama” of their day; and that can’t be...

Nonsense. Why was Jeff Davis never charged with any crime then?

“Yup, the Confederacy was a foreign enemy that attacked the United States of America.”

Not according to the offical record: The confederate States never left the union, therefore, they are not, and never were, foreign.

Besides, the Marines allows Mexican flags and swatiska, both were foreign enemies of the USA.

Wow. Quite a false statement there! It was in no way foreign. The very blood and soil of the Confederacy was domestic.

I guess all the Southerners who sported Confederate emblems in World War II were Nazis. Hey, they were wearing the wrong uniforms ,then!(sarcasm). Hey,maybe the Marine Corps did this young man a favor. With the prospect of the military being turned over to the sodomites, its just as well he was turned down. But,its still an insult to patriotic Southerners. Oh,well, it may be that the policy in the future for all the armed forces will be “perverts,yes! Battle flags,no!”

The young man should’ve tatooted a star and crescent moon and he would’ve been OK.

Strange how the shooting started at Ft Sumter in South Carolina, five MONTHS after South Carolina seceeded (12/20/1860 to 4/12/1861). (Hint: SC is 470 miles from the Mason-Dixon line, at the southern edge of PA.)

I guess if China sends troops into Indiana, and the US finally gets fed up months later and starts shooting, then we're the "aggressors".

Interesting world you live in.

(Also mighty coincidental how every group of people that wishes to peacefully leave a political boundary is soon attacked by the leaders they are trying to escape... and yet in only one case in History are those who seek independence called the "aggressors". Hm.)
