Confederate flags on post, what are your feelings?

SFC (Join to see) - If all other "offensive" flags and paraphernalia are outlawed (i.e., gay rainbow flag, black pride flag, flags from college and NFL teams that are not the ones I support, etc.), then I guess it is OK. However, if they don't forbid things that may be offensive to anybody, I am against it.

Frankly, I am just very tired of all the PC BS, especially when it is not evenly applied.

It should not be allowed on any military installation.

The Confederate Battle Flag, the one that has thousands of people in an uproar was nothing more than a rally symbol for the forces of the Confederate states. The Confederate States, at least to my knowledge, never used this flag as a unified flag to cover their states; rather they flew state flags as well as a few other designs such as the one pictured above.

As far as flagging them on post, I think it would come down to where the flags are being flown. Should it flown on the main post flag pole? In my opinion, no it shouldn't. Should service members be allowed to fly them outside their living area? Well that is where the grey area comes in to play. Keeping in mind that you are merely leasing the house from the government which in this case is the landlord/property manager, you must comply with what the property manager says. And this goes for all the different flags out there. While I don't include sport teams' flags and the such in the same category, if the post is going to disallow the flag of the Confederate Battle Flag, than it would do the same for the others such as the Gay Pride flag and others that are not associated with a county, state or federal government.
