The U.S. Military Looks at the Confederate Flag-- Part4

Chuck Porter, a Marine veteran, said troops tend to have intense pride in their home states.  He is heavily tattooed and is considering about adding another, one depicting South Carolina, to commemorate his home state,  Indeed, most all of the Confederate high-ranking officers had served in the pre-Civil War U.S. Army and all had to make the decision of joining the Confederacy or joining with the Union forces.

But, still he says that if soldiers decide to stamp themselves with the Stars and Bars, it could come back to haunt them..

"The lens through which people are looking at that flag is the same lens that people are using to look at the swastika."  He believes the Department of Defense will address the matter once the hype has died down

I am so proud of the military for not masking instant decisions in his matter and instead waiting until it dies down.  Too bad others are unable to do this.
