Greg (Tom/Ken),
Having cut my teeth on McCarthy's "Detailed Minutiae of Soldier Life in the ANV," and his emphasis on the Battleflag as the soldier's flag, not that of a government "in rebellion," I have read over the years this same distinction (including criticism of the famous destruction of Atlanta railroad station scene in "Gone with the Wind," for flying a Battleflag -- and a rectangular one at that). Does identification with a facility -- if that be the case -- negate that, or do we understand that the association would have been with a combat unit located at or with the installation?
