I just got a notice that i could get my orders soon, the full bird has the papers signed, and i was just notified that i could go to ADSO (Active Duty Special Operations) so thats cool too! WOO HOOO!...but as usual its a hurry up and wait game with the army. So iam just going to hang loose and see what happens.

you kind of asked for that one. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- on another note: just because you are flying the "Stars and Bars" does not make you a redneck, a racist, or belong to the Klan. it is based off of Heritage...not Hate. That being said, Did you know that the American flag was flown over the county while slavery was in use? so shouldnt you say that our national colors is the same as the "Confederate" flag? this brief history on the origin and evolution of the flag. With the formation of the Confederate States of America in early 1861, one of the first orders of business was to create a flag for the new nation. The Committee on the Flag and Seal was formed, and given this task. There were basically two schools of thought in creating the flag. One was to create something that looked very similar to the existing United States flag. The second school of thought was to create a flag very different than the existing United States flag. At the time, there was still feelings of allegiance to the original US flag, and popular opinion was lining up in support of a flag that was similar to the familiar United States flag. The proposed flag resembled the United States flag, but replaced the "stripes" with 3 "bars". The flag had 7 stars, one for each state that was part of the confederacy at the time. This flag was dubbed the "Stars and Bars". The United States flag had been known as the "Stars and Stripes". This flag had replaced the stripes with bars, so it was logical to call it the "Stars and Bars". Note that today people often refer to the Confederate battle flag as the "Stars and Bars". Strictly speaking, this is not a correct description of the Confederate battle flag. Those who preferred a very different flag from that of the United States proposed several different flags, one of which resembled what would later become the Confederate battle flag. In March of 1861, those who supported a flag similar to that of the United States prevailed, and the "Stars and Bars" became the official National flag of the Confederacy. The flag's first official use was at the inauguration of Jefferson Davis on March 4, 1861. As more states joined the Confederacy, more stars were added to the flag. Eventually the Stars and Bars had a total of 13 stars. The thirteen states represented were: South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, and Kentucky. Note that Missouri and Kentucky never officially seceded, but were slave states, and did have some confederate state governments, although they were in exile for the most part. With this matter resolved, the participants proceeded with the prosecution of the War. While there were several smaller skirmishes in early 1861, the first major battle of the year, and the war for that matter, was the Battle of Bull Run, which was fought on July 21, 1861. There were over 4,800 men killed or wounded on the two sides. At the Battle of Bull Run, there were a number of Confederate regiments that used the Confederate national flag as their battle flag. While having a National flag that looks similar to the old United States flag might have been comforting to the people of the newly formed Confederacy, it turned out to be a bad idea in battle. In battle, the purpose of a flag is to help identify who is who. Who is on your side, and who is on the other side. From this perspective, having two sides fight under flags that are similar in appearance is a very bad idea. It actually did cause some degree of confusion at the Battle of Bull Run. The confusion caused by the similarity in the flags was of great concern to Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard. He suggested that the Confederate national flag be changed to something completely different, to avoid confusion in battle in the future. This idea was rejected by the Confederate government. Beauregard then suggested that there should be two flags. One, the National flag, and the second one being a battle flag, with the battle flag being completely different from the United States flag. Beauregard was successful in having a separate battle flag created. The one chosen was actually similar to one of the flags that had earlier been proposed to be the National flag. The battle flag would be a blue X on a red field. As a battle flag, the flag would be square. The flag had 13 stars, for the thirteen states in the Confederacy. This flag was first used in battle in December 1861. Being a new flag, different from the United States flag, it gained widespread acceptance and allegiance among the Confederate soldiers, and population in general. The flag is referred to as the Confederate battle flag, and as the Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia. It should be noted, however, that there were many different confederate battle flags used at different times, and by different regiments in the war. The National flag of the confederacy is almost forgotten today, and the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia has become the symbol most associated with the confederacy, and it remains a controversial, and divisive symbol to this day. here are a picture of 2 confederate flags so on that note, get your facts right before you put your answers and opinions out there or you get put on BLAST with facts. I personally would like to fly my Irish and Scottish flags, but i feel that Britncali would try to have some crazy battle with me out in the dunes (just kidding...id overthrow you anyway)..either way it is what it is and Obama is in office...not my choice, but he is there anyway, i appreciate all the texts that i get, they are funny/ and yes iam politically incorrect and i dont care, and i also hate everyone equally!
