Is it legal to just dig up American soldier bodies at will.

After all, Confederate war dead have exactly the same legal status as any American soldier killed in Iraq or Afghanistan.

The anti Southern culture jihad is on. There will be no stopping it. This has been pre planned.

IIRC, the STATES usually control grave disposition. I know this is so in Georgia. I don’t think a city or county can arbitrarily dig up a grave and move it or otherwise dispose of it.

Years ago at a little church cemetery in East Cobb, GA, Cobb County had encroached on the cemetery to the point the road ROW and sidewalks were actually cutting the corner on my Grandparents’ graves (and their parents). I took my mother down there once to put fresh flowers on and clean up and she got hopping made. Long story short, she had the State agency responsible MAKE Cobb County realign the road (moving it) to cure the encroachment. It cost them a bundle and they had to purchase ROW on the other side of the road to move the road. They also made the County install a wrought iron Fence along the entire ROW it shared.

Maybe we should dig up the bones of the British Regulars and Marines buried here, and send them back to England because of what they did to the Colonists here several centuries ago.
This makes just as much sense, doesn’t it?
