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 Gadsden flag was flown by some southern outfits at the beginning of the War of Northern Aggression/the War Between the States/the unCivil War.
This is just more trickle-down BS from the Pretender’s office.

The North started trying to get its hands deeper and deeper into the South's pockets. The South sought to put a stop to it.

Similar thing are happening in these times.

Marine Corps has changed considerably from my three year active duty stint back in the 1960’s. We had prideful rebs all over the place, don't recall specifically reb tattoos ... but I'm sure they were around. Reb flag bumper stickers were certainly in evidence.

Except for Washington, Lincoln and Reagan are our greatest presidents.

The Confederacy was not a foreign power.

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

If I could get a hold of this young man, first off I’d give him my sympathy. As a fellow patriot who was also turned down by the Marines, I understand how painful this is.

However, I think that he’s been granted a gift from above, one that he will come to see in time, as I have. Right now, if he was able to enlist, he would not be serving his country, at least not the way he probably wishes to.

He will be sent over to a foreign land, not to fight against those who threaten the US, but so that a gutless politician can say he’s tough on evil, while at the same time demonstrating his “humanitarianism” by tying our soldiers hands, granting the people they are fighting a moral sanction and bending over backwards to please them, telling our soldiers to fight without a goal or definition of victory, all while letting the people they protect decry him as fool at best, a war criminal at worst.

PS: I’m in no way saying the lives lost in the War on Terror were wasted, but that their sacrifice is being spat on.

With 0bama in the White House I would not recommend joining the US Military to one of my kids.

"Leaders" like 0bama will get you killed.

The South is not the Confederacy, the Confederacy is not the South. People can even respect the bravery of their Confederate soldier ancestors and still despise the Confederacy that misused the valor of its warriors.

Exactly. If times were changing in the slavery realm AZ wouldn’t have the border it does. Neither any state amongst that parallel. It isn’t the hiding place for our young slaves. Our young folks haven’t a clue about the escape from total religious captivity that gave us the power to rebel against are newest marxist regime.

Andrew Jackson, the only POW to ever serve as President, may disagree with you.

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...

Lincoln acted generously towards the defeated Confederacy. Did he ever take action to suppress the display of its flag?
