He is a dumb ass.
He should be sacked
Thank you Nikki Haley....../s
I’m sure somebody will come along and correct me (this is FReeRepublic, after all) but...as i understand it as the old Veterans were dying out a “national reconciliation” took place. Not like such would occur today, demanded by a Federal Government which required annual training days of minority recognition or whatever but actual, from the heart, spontaneous “put it behind us forever”.
There were large meetings where survivors from both armies met again on the battlefields of their youth and learned they could celebrate their valor while recognizing those days were gone with no desire for their return. They could embrace their old enemy and look to a better future. These monuments were put in place at that time, to celebrate what was in their own eyes a great achievement.
Here is the place where the enemies of America have realized where the “chisel” of decisiveness can easily be placed to re-ignite dead embers of long lost fires. If this old wound can be reopened the rest is easy.
He will order them to be replaced with rainbow flags.
As I recall, there was a section of the Marine Corps Museum about the Confederate Marine Corps. I wonder if Berger can dictate to the Museum what to do.
I wonder was the commandant a Ødungo affirmative action promotion?
You don’t have to be liberal to be against the symbol of an illegal rebellion that tried to destroy our great nation. This old devildog agrees with the commandment on this.
Funny thing is, the South used to be Liberal, and New England used to be rock-ribbed Conservative. Vermont was as Conservative as Wyoming.
IS this the same CMC that just ‘proposed/ordered’ that there be MORE female ‘combat troops’ and also granting 1 year leave for pregnancy? Start that and the MEN will be demanding leave to tend to ANYONE they may or may have ‘knocked up’?
In ‘my day’ one had to be an E5 to get married and the reasoning was
“IF UNKA SUGAH WANTED YOU TO HAVE A WIFE, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN ISSUED TO YOU IN YOUR INITIAL SEABAG”
I guess the next move will be to condemn ALL the ‘nose art’ and ‘battle flags’ from the WWII forces who beat back aggression by foreign powers.
My main question is
What will the CHINESE do when the word LEE is stricken from the American language?
“I am not liking what this liberal Commandant is doing”
He definitely has his priorities screwed up:
If there was no Confederacy then there was no slavery. Nobody living today ever saw or lived as a slave so it is a hoax.
Reconciliation with the wayward sisters, including their pride, their customs, and their traditions, was a very wise policy.
In fact, my version of Dixie on my phone is played by the Corps of Cadets marching band, USMA, West Point NY.
I’ve never lived south of East Flatbush and I hate grits, but still...
Tearing down this wise policy is one of the most foolish and reckless things the leaders of any nation have ever done.,
Just the votes is all they care about...............
As an Alabamian, one of the hardest things I’ve come to accept is how many blacks really do think the Confederate Battle Flag is aimed at them as a racist symbol.
The problem is not the flag, or the history even. It’s just that the segregationists in the 1940s/50s/60s did in fact use it as the symbol of their commitment to keep Jim Crow laws viable, or, as they said, “Keeping their traditions and customs whole.”
Now don’t go off half cocked on me! I don’t agree with them. But I do understand that many think this way. I want people here to be aware of this thinking among black Southerners.
We really need to educate people on history, warts and all, and never forget our past. White and blacks in the South have a history together that goes back 400 years.
Another DUmocrat trying to scrub their racist history...

No. To the left, we’re nothing more
than inbred, religious fanatics who are ignorant, fat lazy stupid morons
who love guns & the Bible.
We also love hunting(more guns) fishing, actual good food & college football.
And that’s why they hate us.
I used to respect the Marines; or I
should say their “leadership”.
Many US Army bases are named after Confederate generals. And the names of the streets on many of the bases carry their names. What a hoot!
Trump needs to fire this asshole NOW!
The Stars and Stripes are next. It won’t be long before Old Glory is their target. I reference the Dimocrat debate stage as evidence.
