[QUOTE="JimFromTN, post: 2761643, member: 113268"] If you read the article from the stars and stripes, at the very end it says "The Pentagon's leaders have been concerned with flag protocol in recent years, addressing troops on the issue in previous memos. In 2020, DOD issued a new policy that banned the display of unauthorized flags on military installations, buildings and vehicles. The policy was seen as effectively banning Confederate flags and other controversial banners without spelling out which flags were undesirable."

I doubt the Biden administration had much to do with it. It was more than likely some crusty old generals in the pentagon who get PO'd everytime they see a flag touch the ground. Everyone thinks its some kind of act of anti-flag/anti-patriotism when in reality, it is the exact opposite. [/QUOTE]
