I share your disdain for the Soro/socialist press corps.
But, the South did not behead perceived opponents, burn them alive in cages, and rape women.
Also, I’ll bet a significant number of the military personnel who carried out the raid in Syria were brave Southerners.
So, respectfully, you might not want to compare apples to oranges.
Well, I dont really care whether they raped women, hanged them, burned them, placed them in an iron maiden etc. It’s war. To think every army in history played by the rules of conduct and “nice” is nonsense. And I wont pretend that I actually cared what the Northern Army did more than a hundred years ago. They won. Sherman did his job and won a war of attrition against the South. I thought that if Stonewall was around during that time, he would have given Sherman a run for his money..
