General Daniel Allyn, the Army's vice chief, understands the flag's historical significance within the military. the Civil war and the decades leading up to it were a difficult time.
"When you are a student of military history, let's face it: One of our greatest military generals in the history of our nation was Robert E. Lee," Allyn said.
It's a complex issue for the military said Professor Craig Warren. While the flag's origin is a "military symbol of a slave-holding republic determined to preserve and prolong institutionalized racism" it has taken on other meanings over time.
