Marine commandant banishes Confederate symbols from all Corps installations [View all]
Good on the Marines 
Marine Corps Commandant Gen. David Berger has ordered all Confederate-related paraphernalia to be removed from Marine Corps installations, his spokesman confirmed on Wednesday.
Military analyst B. A. Friedman first tweeted a document showing the commandant’s decision on Wednesday.
The document did not say when all of the Confederate-related paraphernalia needed to be removed by.
Berger’s spokesman confirmed to Task & Purpose that the commandant had sent a directive to his senior staff ordering all installations to get rid of symbols of the Confederate States of America.
