I think it’s reasonable to say prior to the war between the states Davis gave far more of himself than the average freeper slinging self righteousness at no personal cost here

Hitler "earned" his country's highest honor as a WW1 Vet too. Does that excuse him?

And no one here is playing self righteous. We all have our failings to apologize for, and slavery is NOT one of modern Southerners' failings. In fact as Republicans, their legacy is in abolishing slavery. Why they don't embrace it over a democrat hissy fit that split the nation is beyond me.

Just for the record Hitler did not earn his country’s highest honor in WW1.

He earned the Iron Cross Second Class.

Had he earned an Iron Cross First Class he would have worn it at the collar as was the prescribed manner.

The Iron Cross Second Class was worn on the left breast pocket.

The cross was either worn that way(as pictures clearly show this to be the case with Hitler) or a soldier would wear the Iron Cross Second Class ribbon in the second breast pocket of the uniform tunic.
