No offense man but there's some serious nuance missing from this comparison.

Why were members of our military allowed to previously display the flag of another country anyway?

I'm just trying to make the point that declaring things evil/offensive decades or centuries after the fact by using out of context moral standards is a weapon that will be turned on just about everything.

Yeah. I’m sure 100% of the Vietnam war casualties signed up to go there


If they were Marines, yes they did sign up to go there. Sign a Marine.

So, if a Marine gets a tat of the confederate flag, then what?

That flag shouldn’t exist in America.

I get your point and don't disagree. I just don't think the example you chose does a great job of making that argument.

Why? By taking out our pass history, we will forget our past mistakes.

Why?

They fought an immoral war and lost, right? If we're going to have a standard, let's use it.


The Vietnam Memorial wasn’t built as a celebration though. Your comparison isn’t valid no matter how you slice it.

Yes and no. During the height of the war draftees were given the option to join the USMC instead of the army and received a 2 year enlistment in exchange rather than the more standard 3 and 4 year enlistments. So while they weren't specifically drafted into the USMC, the Corps did use conscripts.

The only way we can be tolerant is if we ban everything I deem intolerant!

Because of the merger.
