Did they only ban the pride flag or all flags that are not government related?

Believe it or not, the article answers that question

So it is all flags that are not government related.

It is not. They made a specific carve out for the POW/MIA flag, which betrays the true intent of this.

Is the military not a part of the government?

That's not an official military flag. It belongs to a nonprofit organization that claims to represent the families of Vietnam POWs that may or may not actually exist.

The point isn’t always “how is the law worded?” But “why is this law being implemented?”

Don’t believe their propaganda

What does intent matter if there is equal access and representation?
