Graduated from classes & training provided by the U.S. Fededal government that Confederates took up arms against? West Point oath: " I do solemnly swear or affirm to bear true allegiance to the U.S.A.....& to observe & obey the orders of the President of the U.S.A. & the orders of officers appointed over me".


Sounds like treason & dishonorable men who don't honor their oaths. Over compensating Southerners are now taken aback if someone doesn't dare stand for the pledge.
