Wonder when the pro-america anti-dixie folks who post here are going to realize where the phrase "band of brothers" comes from.

It's from Shakespeare. Henry V; Act IV, Scene 3. Unless you're arguing that the English flew the Confederate colors at the battle of Agincourt, I don't see what you're getting at.

We are a band of brothers
And native to the soil
Fighting for our liberty
With treasure blood, and toil
And when our rights were threatened,
The cry rose near and far
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single star!
