More Political correctness crap. Both Lee and Jackson were Americans both great leaders in a terrible time. These Pictures have hung on the walls for many years and never bothered anyone...but now comes the PC crowd. As for me I say leave them!!!

Having served on this post many years ago, I can say it is a Historic place in its own right. The article mentions that it was burned during the war. It leaves out that it was, at one time, the School of Cavalry Practice - a place certainly known to expert like Jackson.

I believe it is right to continue to have these paintings in a place on honor. It is a reminder that 2 officers who served with distinction and honor in the US Army once became enemies of that Army. Lee, for his part, was among the first to ask for his US Citizenship back after the war. It was returned... under President Carter, I think. The only thing Carter ever did with which I agree.

nothing ever changes...the bean counters and button polishers always want to get rid of those pesky warriors...the military is so nice without those types of people around. We can put on our pretty uniforms and march and give orders and tell each other what it was like when we were at West Point, while we knock our rings on the wood work...
