The commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps wrote that “it is time to exclude” public displays of the Confederate flag in a letter addressed to his fellow Marines this week.
“I am mindful that many people believe that flag to be a symbol of heritage or regional pride,” Gen. David H. Berger wrote. “But I am also mindful of the feelings of pain and rejection of those who inherited the cultural memory and present effects of the scourge of slavery in our country.”
He said his move is intended not to judge anyone’s opinion of the flag but rather to unify.
“We are a warfighting organization, an elite institution of warriors who depend on each other to win the tough battles,” he wrote. “Anything that divides us, anything that threatens team cohesion must be addressed head-on.”
Guess it's time for a new Commandant!
