What is interesting is that the flag displayed in that article is not the confederate flag.

It is either the Confederate Battle Flag or the Confederate Naval Jack. Both of which were military flags not national flags.

That's what is so funny. These people who want to recognize their heritage don't even know what the flag of the confederacy even looks like.

I would not have a problem if people wanted to display the flag of the confederacy (any version). As that would be a historical national flag from a period of our history. I do, however, have a problem with people displaying a battle flag of an illegal rebellion.

Displaying a battle flag can be considered an aggressive action.
