Sounds about right, rewriting history so as not to offend.

What war? There was no war.

We have always been at war with Oceana.

“It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of monuments” . . . to paraphrase Syme.

There is something not right about this.

I would have thought the easiest way to remind Americans of what we fought for against the Nazi was to leave reminders like this so that we do not forget.

Out of sight is Out of mind - i believe is the alternative.

Funny since that name is actually Czech; it means “jackdaw”.

Last I heard they were standing firm on not erasing history.

This is sad.

“Americans must always remember the horror of the Nazi regime and why so many Americans sacrificed so much to free the world from its reign of terror.”

Okay.
Then why remove the headstones.
Am I missing something?

What nonsense. They people were Nazis.

Why are they even buried here? Send their remains back to Germany.

There must be a reason these folks are in our national cemeteries right? OK, why were Nazis interred there?

They've been buried for over 75 years with that identification. WHY remove it now? That's HISTORY. That's THEIR personal history. On their final resting place.

Why not just rip them out of the ground and hand the plot over to a pal of the next Democrat president. (Anyone remember the fraud M Larry Lawrence?)

My mother never wanted to be buried because she grew up watching old cemeteries torn up in the name of progress in her city. Where my father's parents were buried was paved over years ago.

But these folks are in national cemeteries. Why are we pretending they weren't Nazis but we're going to leave them there? It makes no sense. It should all stay or all GO. Period.

Why can't they just repatriate them?

If we agree to erase all of our history can we then dispense with
reparations, victimhood cults, SJWs and all the incessant whining?

After all, if the evidence is gone none of it ever happened.

That’s why I’m against it. History is history and shouldn’t be erased.
