\nConfederate Battle Flag<\/p>\n
The commandant of the Marine Corps has ordered that all Confederate symbology be removed from Marine installations.<\/p>\n
Commandant General David Berger is said to have instructed that all Marine bases remove any “Confederate-related paraphernalia” worldwide.<\/p>\n
The directive was sent out as part of a memo, in which Berger demanded several initiatives be put in place, including finding ways to place more women in combat positions and to update their recruitment policies to prohibit those with prior domestic abuse convictions.<\/p>\n

It is also allowed on state-issued license plates and confederate soldiers\u2019 grave sites.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n So there’s that.
