Purging Confederate Symbolism from the Marine Corps Undermines Warrior Brotherhood
2020-03-08
[AmGreatness] In an order that also extended "parental leave" to "same-sex couples" in the U.S. Marine Corps, Commandant General David Berger has mandated that "Confederate-related paraphernalia" be removed from all Marines bases.

It's a bad decision.

Imagine the United Kingdom purging Scottish symbols from the British army. The Scottish secession movement, after all, has a lot more political traction than any neo-secessionist movement in the American South. Besides, the Scots fought, and fought savagely, against the British, before they fought for them.
