As we all know, there is a "Big Fuss" these days about the Confederate battleflag. There are those who unfortunately view it as a symbol of racism, oppression, and prejudice. Then, there are those who see it as the symbol of a brave people trying to protect their homes and way of life.
During World Wars I and II and the Korean War, there was actually a unit in the US Army called the Dixie Division which consisted largely of men from the Southern states AND THEY MARCHED UNDER THE FLAGS OF BOTH THE US AND THE CONFEDERACY AND IT WAS NO BIG DEAL, EVEN TO THE BLACK SOLDIERS IN THE DIVISION.
