[Non-Sequitur]

By the way, it is expected, that the ex-soldier would “hate” the United States and the flag, as his country had been invaded, subjegated, and conquered.

And that's become the Southron theme song. Start a war, lose a war, blame everybody but yourself for the consequences. It's been going on for 140-plus years.

Well, as to who started the war, that is subject to argument. And I will be the first to say that SOME of the blame is on the South.

Are you feeling your “oats” this morning Noni?
You seem to be in your “Southern-Bashing” mode, more than usual....:)
