It would be one thing if a group of mixed cultures and races posed with the confederate flag; but if it were stickily white southeners, then they have made a political statement and disgraced the uniform.
I live in an area with a lot of the whole "southern pride" thing going on and some folks I went to school with served and they always had their battle flags. I knew about the rule but I never even thought about how it would be applied to them. I never heard of them facing any sort of reprimand. One of them had his cover photo as him sitting on an Abrams with his brown round on and his battle flag hanging from the barrel of the tank.
