Pentagon may allow LGBTQ pride flags to be flown on military bases, reversing Trump-era ‘no non-gov’t flags’ rule: Report

The Pentagon is examining a Trump-era policy that restricts the types of flags that can be flown on military bases, according to a senior defense official, CNN reported Tuesday.

The consideration comes as the nation kicks off Pride Month, a celebration to honor the LGBTQ community. While the defense official said that no decision have been made, changes to the policy could allow the rainbow Pride flag to be displayed.

“This goes beyond the issue of the Pride flag,” the official said, noting that the change would apply to numerous non-governmental flags. “The truth is we haven’t resolved it yet.”

According to the official, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is aware of the review, and discussions are underway including Austin’s legal staff.

The policy was first established by former President Donald Trump’s Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, who sought to ban displaying the Confederate flag amid heightened racial tensions and the reinvigorated Black Lives Matter movement.

If DJT would have signed an ER specifically banning child sacrifice in the White House, we would be seeing child sacrifice in the White House.

So that means that any of the Confederate flags can be flown as well, right?

and the people who are well versed in homosexuality/transgenderism/Marxism and the well meaning and deluded women who occupy fighting holes are overrun and slaughtered along with the pear shaped men serving with them,

There won't be any tranny-lesbian-genderqueer whatevers in the foxhole. As with how the homosexual lie is spread in society overall, these types are a very small part of the population, and they certainly won't join the military. In this regard, our political masters will still expect your kids to die.

where the dysfunction will lead to mass slaughter is the total politicization and corrupt factional ebbs and flows of the military and officer corps. It will be managed like your local DMV or State welfare office, but with powerful weapons.

he fought in WWII and Korea up on “Heartbreak Ridge and Pork Chop Hill”

My uncle was on the Bataan death march and survived as a POW until Sept. 45. For his whole life, anytime he saw a soldier in a restaurant, he would buy them a drink, or their whole meal

I'm glad he's gone, too. Seeing this would have made his head spin and negated for him his entire sacrifice.

DISPICABLE! Only the Stars and Stripes should be flown on military posts, bases, naval stations, and ships.

I guess the flagpole will have lots of flags flying... There are flags for ABDL, Pony Play, Agender, Lipstick Lesbians, Trigender, Polygender, Bear, Twinks and other crazy flags for crazy people...

Pony Play is not about riding horses... 😀

The Sodom & Gommarh flag is befitting of what the US has become.

Thank God I retired from the military when I did. There is NO way I would ever recommend today’s “woke” military to young people.

I have a 19YO son, and there's no way in hell he's going into the Biden Military.

He wouldn't last long, not with his Trump 2020 flag...lol.

I was lucky, I was in a Chaparral/Vulcan battalion...no women allowed. I had friends in a nearby Nike-Hercules battery that had women force fed into their remote site. Let's just say they got off to a rocky start.

To a degree I think that is true, but that will not stop them from lowering the standards overall, and sprinkling enough well-meaning and/or ambitious women and “tranny-lesbian-genderqueer” throughout the organizations to destroy capability and morale.

Which I believe is intentional.

Your last paragraph:
“...where the dysfunction will lead to mass slaughter is the total politicization and corrupt factional ebbs and flows of the military and officer corps. It will be managed like your local DMV or State welfare office, but with powerful weapons...” is pretty spot on, I think.

Why not? We are occupied territory, after all. The conquerors should fly their flags.
