Let’s keep this respectful. Do you agree with the Marine Corps Commandant banning Confederate flags on base?

Personally I think the only two flags that should be on any USMC base are the Stars and Stripes and the Marine Corps flag anyway.

I absolutely do not agree. From what I understand, it is not a complete ban. It is still allowed inside of personal quarters of base housing, and school and museum educational purposes, and on vehicle license plates that are state issued (SCV plates, etc.). The Mississippi state flag was also an exception until this week when it got changed.

Personally I don't care one way or the other. But I think they are banning them for the wrong reason. If they are banning them it should be because they are a flag of an enemy to our Union.

No disrespect, but what am I supposed to say? That I welcome this new era of simplistic and myopic guilt-mongering... or that I'd dare try to defend a lost cause based on similarly simplistic and myopic false teachings? Personally, I think it's as radical and dangerous to start "banning" everything that someone takes offense at... as it is to twist science, faith, and economics to relegate an entire race of human beings to subservient status. I'll never know why in the world some otherwise truly admirable people on both sides could not have sat down around a large table sometime around 1859... and sorted it out like gentlemen-they could've saved a great many lives, white and black. For the love of Pete and all that's holy... most of 'em fought alongside each other in the previous war! Maybe it was because just like today... for every two people willing to talk, there are two-thousand ready to fight.
To answer your question.. I suppose there's not much else the Commandant could do. At this point, no sensible, rational person is going to fly that flag unless they're trying to make a point... and we cannot have that in the Armed Forces.

Personally don't care and most who fly that flag don't even understand where that flag even came from.

Did he just ban the Naval Ensign, Army of NVA and Tenn flags (St Georges Cross) or all National Flags and the Bonnie Blue flag?
