The idea that there are still parks and places named after Civil War Generals from the South

91. That IS very well said

But I come from the Military class in this country . . . I was raised in the culture - and I see zero difference between Jefferson Davis and Adolf Hitler.

None at all. There is no difference between the men that shot at Johan Von Bargerstock (Great Great grandfather that fought for the USA out a western PA unit) and the men that shot at Dieter Von Bargerstock (Grandfather) in Germany and North Africa during world war II.

Now - being born at Rammstein AFB/Weisbaden (then) West Germany and spending my formative years in the 1970s in Germany . . . I can tell you - our harsh approach at the close of World War II created a people who were kind and didn't hold on to the glory of the cause that lead them to be the 'losers'.

You've got to admit - brother to brother and all of that stuff aside - You gotta admit . . . It's kind of funny to see people who are so wed to their heritage of being the loser in an epic war. And it was epic - the loss of human life. Yet they hold onto that.

It's funny - because it makes you think . . . Why was their 'cause' so Noble and worthy of holding up as a shining example of the greatness of America? Because that's how they portray it.

I hate war. I saw what it did to my dad. I saw how my country deliberately and maliciously poisoned my dad with chemicals then tried to play innocent and carefree. I remember him screaming bloody murder in the front hall closet in the middle of the night when I was a little girl. But - I won't ever give one ounce of respect or 'nobility' to the foreign enemy that was the Confederate States of America. I will not give them anymore sympathy than I give the Germans who rained down Blitzkreigs on London.
