The order from Commandant Gen. David Berger was one of several initiatives he prioritized for"immediate execution" in a memo sent to senior leadership last week, Marine Corps spokesman Capt. Joseph Butterfield told CNN. Some of the other directives were posted by Berger on Twitter, including revising the parental leave policy to include same-sex couples, reviewing the possibility of yearlong maternity leave for female Marines and to get more female Marines into combat jobs.

They doing this because of the election

Zzzzzzzzz boring You hardly see that stuff anymore. Feel good stories

Anytime I see a veteran hold the Nazi or the Confederate flag, it tells me they never really love this country but themselves and their selfish and racist lineage. Veterans fought and died in both wars against evil but then, today we display those flags & salute those flags..smh

It’s about time!!

Finally acknowledging defeat of the Confederacy.

What do Republicans want with this flag. Its a Democrat flag to begin with. They didn't want to be part of America here in th he south. This shouldn't be on any American base. Unless its in a military base museum under victories for America. Have this flag with all war relics

General Sherman was too nice

Learn the hidden history folks!

altNOAA It’s about time!!!!!

altNOAA About time, the symbol of white supremacy stands for nothing other than hatred at this point. Heritage my ass, heritage of racism.

No shit this is a symbol of a treasonous act. The Civil War was a war against the United States of America.

This flag has a bad rep because what it once stood for is not the light it is displayed in today. Same as the swastika.

Gee, if only native Americans could do that with their adversaries! 🥺

Semper Fi-nally

Shit the military cares about today while flight training for Saudis at Navy base resumed yesterday. The military needs a purging of the Lt Col Vindman types. Cernovich

That makes sense.

I love Chihuahuas. ❤️

He better be careful trump will have his ass on a platter! js

So is he racist for discriminating against these Americans?

Shouldn’t glorify losers 🤷🏼‍♀️

👏🏼 Good, losers have no place in the US Military

So I should take down my signed pic of the Dukes of Hazzard out of my locker?

That's an exemplary human being.

Wait, they were still allowed? 🤔

Dude, it's the fucking year 2020

FAKENEWSCNN

The Confederacy was an evil.

Freedom of speech.

Impressive.! Ooorah.!

I love how nobody actually READS the articles anymore. In other good news Berger is also doing this...

That still doesn't stop the mistreatment of people that are non-white by white people who control and own the institutional systems

You can’t rewrite history. And you can’t take the confederate flags away. If you don’t like America then get the hell out!

Why fly the flag of traitors to America? If you're in the American military, fly the flag of your country, not the traitors that turned their backs on America.

CNN THE CLOWN NEWS NETWORK THE RIGHT ARM OF DEMOCRATS, that is sad to see a Confederate flag is part of our history.

Why exactly are there confederate-related items displayed at marine installations in the first place?

Rename Fort Bragg

I noticed once the identity was known about the Coors brewery shooter, cnn dropped the story like a hot potato

Its about time they removed the flag if the traitors and losers.

160 years late...

That flag represent hate,in any branch of the D.O.D..we fought wars at home and abroad to put an end to such scum bags and god knows most of them are still in the world,USA mainly because of fools who fear that the white woman will choose the black Male..

That flag has no business being on ANY government land or assets. There is only one flag for the United States of America, and that is Ol' Glory, respect her!

Good. It’s the symbol of treason. Toss it all in the trash.

American flags and paraphernalia only

Good! It’s all participation trophies anyways.

Could have used his title: Commandant if the Marine Corps.

That was allowed until now? Wow. But good job from the USMC that they're addressing this issue and doing something about it.

It’s not understood why some people like to continually embrace divisive “paraphernalia”!

It’s a new Red Dawn.

IAmSophiaNelson Good for them.

People are funny. Make all whites racist ✔️ Make everyone have pitty for you ✔️ Complain how wrong everyone else is ✔️ Blaming people in 2020 for the sins of others during a time you were not even born isn't right but yet here we are Killin it.

Germany won’t allow a nazi flag to fly. Freedom of speech is one thing. however, the confederate flags only flys cause politicians NEED the flag owners votes to stay in office. which means those politicians AGREE with what the fly stands for.... So much for the United States....

Good

🤬🤬🤬

Considering that they are fighting to protect a united union and aren’t looking out for the best interest of a bunch of anti American rebels, I think this is a positive.

I didn’t know donlemon was a marine!? sarcasm

That’s right ✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻

A symbol of heritage and southern pride that they owned slaves.

About time, how is it still there!

About time that war is over and that side lost.

Some day we'll be banning MAGA hats as well.

It’s about damn time!!! Kudos to him👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Good, the US Marine Corp should not be honoring treason.

I used to be for keeping confederate flags where they are... but the more and more racist and nazi wannabes I see using that dog flag as a whistle to attract others has forced me to change my opinion on it.

Who wants to hang a loser flag? spoileralert thesouthlost

Now we just need to remove the Confederate journalists and anchors working for CNN.

I needed good news

We’re just now doing that? In the year 2020?!

What's next banning the Dukes of Hazzard?

666

OK, WHY was it up anyway There are NO confederate states of america, they LOST. Good WON, freedom happened.

The men who carried this flag into battle were traitors to this nation. They weren’t heroes. Don’t romanticize them. It should be clear to every school child that this is the symbol of racism, abuse, cowardice & treason. It has no place other than in museums & history books!

It's about time !

You mean the symbol of slavery, hatred and white supremacy? Good. Keep all those ugly things in your home. Wait, can Trump fire Commandant Gen. David Berge?

About time

About time. Why pay them to fly the flag that was fighting to not be part of the US?

About time.

Wonderful news

fuckin good

Might be a bit more problematic in places like Ft Bragg, Ft Hood, Ft Polk, Ft Benning, Ft Rucker etc. etc.

About time. The confederate flag (not capitalizing that shit) isn't some cherished reminder of a rich history. It represents a hateful, bigoted, and backwards way of life that should be ridiculed and laughed at. Confederates are traitors to the Union, just like MAGA red-hats.

The Civil War, officially over in 1865, is still being fought .... here and there.

Just wait until Trump hears about this. I strongly suspect he has an opinion about this and will eagerly share it with us publicly, perhaps through social media, a platform like...Christ, I give up. You all know he's going to gripe about this.

Thanks United States Marine at least someone is standing up for our democracy while u got a dictator trying to take all the money from the Military to build a wall Mexico was suppose to pay for

Why hasn’t this been done already...

History? Yea, a history of States & their leaders who declared & waged war against the United States by sending their people to wage that war (against the US). As history of such treason, a museum might seem appropriate, but in the military installations of the US? No.

That took a few years.

Because US Marines aren't losers. 🇺🇸

IamKarenBoBaran Good

The motto and pledge of the Marines is Semper Fidelis. Ironic to have rebel (traitor) memorabilia in their midst.

About time.

Will they ban flags from countries who are racists too? 👀🙄

So sick of the confederate swastika and all that it represents ! It’s a hate symbol of a traitorous people who lost the goddamn war!

It`ll come back in the next war.

Any Confederate history can be preserved in museums. Our troops shouldn't be associated with it. (Coming from someone who has lived in the south my whole life) 🤷‍♂️

Good. Now maybe the Army can do the same, especially with all the bases polluted by being named after traitors

Well, Germans have an “historical” flag too but have the decency of not flying it

But StAtEs RiGhTs lol

stinks, but not sure why that was accepted to begin with

They should be kicked out. Disgraceful and disrespectful! Flying those traitors flags!

The fact that this was a problem, is a problem.

About time for USMC to honor the service of a Afro Americans & stop glorifying the murderers, enslavers, rapists and traitors that made up the entire confederacy and their lost cause!!

Good!!

Confeds were traitors who fought to keep slavery. Why honor them with flags? History of this nature belongs in books, not glorified and watered down with flags and moronic Jim Crow Era Statues.

Somewhat great. When are the heavens coming down?

All you want to be MotherFuckers!!!! Come on out

👏👍

When this stuff happens here comes the big trucks with their flags hanging high and proud in the back of they trucks where I live at in the suburbs or they start wearing their belts in stores and stuff .

It's about time.

Thank you Sir.

Screw the obvious argument about racism. Is there *any* other military on the planet they literally names stuff after traitors and enemies? What's next, the Russians are going to put up monuments after German generals that invaded them?

why not remove everything related to communist flags of che that the Democrats support as Berni Sander

👏👏👏👏👏

Looks like hitlets minions are on the rise

Time to get rid of those silly POW/MIA flags everywhere. The pain it causes my family to relive every time we see one is unbearable.

And it should be.

Why?

Back to this again?

starlitup TNicole707 our military is so unappreciated

Why was the flag of another country, which took up arms against the U.S., ever allowed in the U.S. Armed Forces?

increasethepeace

WTF WAS IT THERE FOR TO BEGIN WITH FFS!!!!

Wrong this is our heritage!

What a fucking joke.

It is so wearying listening to people lie about why they admire the Confederacy.

Stupidity!

What a joke!!

It baffles me that flags and monuments for a group 'Secceeding' from the United States are still a thing in the U S. The UK doesn't have Australian flags and Monuments through out their country and call it heritage

unamerican.

The Marines who display this stuff should also be removed.

В русском языке есть понятие 'Иваны, не помнящие родства'.

Why the heck did they have the flag of our enemies flying in the first place?

Flag of treason.

Will that include all democrat propaganda or just the flags ?

I bet realDonaldTrump overrules and allows the confederate flag to stay as a right of the wonderful racist

😳😳😳😳
