The U.S. Military Looks at the Confederate Flag-- Part 3

Craig Warren continued: "For many...it still symbolizes [southern] pride.  For others, it represents a particular interpretation of southern history.  For still others, it represents rural life.  And for many others, the flag represents rebellion against authority, whether motivated by politics or simple mischief."

He added that to ban it in the military would be controversial.

Very importantly, Warren said: "It would need to be acknowledged that not everyone who displays the flag does so with racist intent."
