To assertion we did not build a monument for British soldiers who fought during the Revolutionary War, this not correct. When I visited the hallow battleground where the Battle of Concord was fought. There is a monument for the spot where the British soldiers killed in the battle are buried. Before general statements like that are made, you better know your history. The Confederate soldier should be honored for the bravery and heroism they displayed. If you examine the composition of the U.S. military during wars following the Civil War, many of the great military leaders and soldiers were of Southern origin; Does General Patton ring a bell. I am tired of young skulls full of mush trying to santize and erase our history for the sake of diversity. If they have a problem with how we honor those who made history, too bad.

Sorry, not buying it, heroism in the defense of slavery is not heroism.

Should we honor dead Al Qaeda terrorists because they fought bravely and believed in their cause?

Game, set, MATCH!
