The Commandant of the Marine Corps has ordered the removal of all “Confederate-related paraphernalia” from Marine installations, Task and Purpose reports. Commandant Gen. David Berger's spokesperson confirmed that Berger had sent the directive to senior staff after a photo of the document was published on Twitter Wednesday. It's unclear when the Confederate symbols will have to be removed by. “Last week, the Commandant of the Marine Corps directed specific tasks be reviewed or addressed by Headquarters Marine Corps staff,” spokesman Maj. Eric Flanagan said, adding that many were publicized on Friday and others that weren't were “mostly administrative matters.”

Um, it's the Marines. I think that 'Now, right fucking now!' would be a good operational deadline to strive for in this.

It took the Marines until 2020 to act to remove symbols of an enemy combatant/traitors?

No doubt Trumpo will have him fired.

Welp, there go all the Marine recruits from the Citadel.

Confederate symbols are out. Neo-Nazi's and white nationalism are in and the new Lost Cause for people who need one.

Some comedians have put up a confederate statue of Steve King. Well.... the world's smallest confederate status.
