I remember an incident during the War Between the States.
General Custer captured 3 (it might have been only 1 or 2 but that is what I remember) of John Mosby’s men. He hung them and left the bodies hanging.
When Mosby saw the sight he was sickened. He knew he had to stop the practice so he selected 10 times as many Union prisoner by lot and had them hanged.
During the selection, one of the Union men gave the Masonic signal to the Confederate who was choosing the lots. He skipped the Union Mason and selected another. When Mosby found out he was furious and and I think made the choice go back to what random fate had decided.
Now what I want to know is if you are a Mason, do you think what Mosby’s man did was ethical?
Secret societies breed extra-national fealty which leads to the desires of the people who make up the society to supercede the needs of the nation.
Sound familiar?
Mosby should have shot his mason and the enemy mason.
