If you are not trolling, I appoligize for my harshness. They were all Americans. They are all considered US Veterans. The VA paid for the Confederate markers on their grave. Did you know that Pres Eisenhower displayed a portrait of Gen Lee in his office? Did you know that the US General commanding, in the Spanish-American War was a Confederate General? Did you know that Gen Patton was proud of his Confederate ancestors? I do not think, back in the day, you would have dared question his loyalty to his face. Did you know that Pres Theodore Roosevelt worshiped the Confederate Naval officer who was his Uncle? He was his inspiration to become Sec of the Navy. Why don't we join forces and celebrate all the men who served in the way they thought they should, politics not withstanding?

There is no fricking way that it is appropriate to honor CSA soldiers on a United States holiday.

They do it because it allows the neo-rebs to attempt to legitimize what can never be anything but disgraceful - an attempt to destroy the best government yet devised.
