Another Strike Against The Confederate Flag

A figure representing the Confederate Navy at the Civil War Memorial*.

The U.S. Navy is the latest to ban the flag:

In a statement, the Navy said Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Mike Gilday had directed his staff to begin drafting an order that would prohibit the flag “from all public spaces and work areas aboard Navy installations, ships, aircraft and submarines.”
“The order is meant to ensure unit cohesion, preserve good order and discipline, and uphold the Navy’s core values of honor, courage and commitment,” the statement added.
