My thoughts, exactly! Between the ignorant defacing every monument, and the feds turning on the border states like jack booted thugs—— you may come to appreciate how the American south felt before they fired on Sumpter.

How sad. I cry for my beloved country that has been destroyed. A window was opened for something better, and it let in a nightmare.

As per recent events, you can remove statues now and there will be no consequences.

Was he a Confederate War hero?

World War II 1LT. He commanded white Army troops assigned to the Brooklyn Navy yard during the War, as an experiment to see how white troops would react to being ordered by a negro (sic) officer. He was also court-martialed for refusing to ride in the back of the bus on an Army base in the South during the War. A panel of white officers exonerated him.

When I lived in the Phiippines back in the late Sixties, they had problems with Filipino Communists (HUKs) who came on the base and tried to steal power lines in remoter parts of the base for the copper.

I recall an incident where two of these insurgents got electrocuted in the effort, but it wan’t an uncommon thing.

In our neighborhood, it was not uncommon to see a Filipino solder, WWII style helmet, M-1 Garand slung over his shoulder, walking to and fro in the neighborhood as he stood watch.

Haters. I remember a Sacajawea statue stolen in Oregon. I don’t think they ever found the head.

Sure startled me when on an evening jog. Decided no more running in housing area. Too dang hot to be running and or becoming inadvertent 30.06 target.

All reminders of the Civil War must be removed! Just ask Nikki.
