What if you are in Mississippi and just want to fly your state flag? Or is that banned, too?

Half a century ago when I was a second (and first) lieutenant in the Army, we received command guidance from Department of the Army to remove any Black Nationalist flags we encountered in the barracks. This is nothing new.

Agreed. I know of no other situation where enemy flags are allowed to be displayed on US military bases.

"...had the “power to inflame” division."
So does Hitlary Clinton, Nazi Pelosi, Adam Schiff-for-Brains, Chucky Schmucky Schumer, and others, but I don't see you outlawing any of them.

...I know of no other situation where enemy flags are allowed to be displayed on US military bases.You betcha! And the US Army should do the same! There's no reason to have Confederate flags anywhere near Fort Benning, or Fort Bragg, or Fort Hood, or Fort Gordon, or Fort Rucker, or Fort Lee, or Fort A.P. Hill, or... no, wait...
