It’s worse than a troll. The babbler is a Dick Cheney loving liberal.

Gawd, where does this sh*t end?

It "ends" with the (attempted) genocide of White people.

The racist, homosexualist, socialist left wants to kill you. No exaggeration, no joke.

Plan accordingly.

I once read of an exchange between an American APC crewman and a captured Iraqi soldier after the Battle of 73 Easting.

The EPW was puzzled that the Americans had a portrait of Rommel in their Bradley. “Why”, he asked, “do you have a portrait of your enemy in your vehicle?”.

The American replied “If you had spent more time studying Rommel, you might not be my prisoner ...”

It is appropriate that you adulate that corrupt and evil human being Dick Cheney one of the authors of that everlasting disgrace the 1993 Iraq War.

Exactly. And Glbo-Homo wants a US military full of queers, deviants, hate filled nuts and ethnic terrorists who will be happy to kill whitey the way the Turks killed the Armenians.

A statue of George Jackson with appropriate quotations from his book, ‘Blood In My Eye’ would be appropriate. In this tome he calls for genocide of whitey

IIRC....Robert E. Lee is the only cadet in West Point history to graduate without ever receiving a single demerit. Douglas comes in a close second having only received one. I shouldn’t mention this they will cancel the demerit system.

“I certainly hope we study the tactics of the Southern generals”

That’s not how this works anymore. Cancelling or airbrushing our history does myriad things. Opens old wounds. Divides people. Provides a platform to spread more needless hate and division.

They claim they are being virtuous, but they know better, and they also know what they are trying to accomplish here. Either that, or they are just following orders.

History is sometimes complicated as well as ugly. All of that goes out the window now.

Anyway, they are throwing the baby out with the bath water, so to speak. We can study tacticians without signing on to their ideology.

One of the greatest generals of the war, fought on the Confederate side, had absolutely no particular military experience whatsoever. As in none. Can’t remember his name, but he started out as a Private and worked his way up. Started kicking ass, and they (used to anyway) study his tactics at West Point.

I think if people look at all the stuff they are doing (and not doing) for decades now, is carefully calculated simply to reduce the fighting effectiveness and cohesiveness of the American military. It really isn’t any more complicated than that.

Our enemies have studied our tactics and methods too, ironically enough.
