CNN: Pentagon to Effectively Ban Confederate Flags from Military Installations

‘Defense Secretary Mark Esper issuing a memo this morning that specifies what is allowed on U.S. military bases, confederate battle flag not on that list’

EXCERPT:

STARR: "Defense Secretary Mark Esper issuing a memo this morning that specifies what is allowed on U.S. military bases, Confederate battle flag not on that list. What is allowed, of course, is the American flag, the flags of states, authorized military unit flags, flags of military commanders. By not putting the Confederate flag on that list, it does essentially bar it. Now, what we know is that the Secretary’s gotten legal advice essentially, 'Let the services take care of it.' That will help with any legal challenges to so-called freedom of speech arguments about the Confederate flag or any other legal arguments that someone may make. Esper already endorsing the Marine Corps move to ban the flag.”
