Listen SW- the civil war is over, hopefully, and not a period in our history that most care to rehash. The fact that you don't cut old sarge some slack , while he is overseas fighting a war makes me sick- I mean sick to my stomach.
If your ideal America is one where the South receives all of the benefits of being in America while living their segregated lives from the rest of us- so be it. I could not care less.
I, frankly ,am sick of seeing your comments and attacks on the matter.
Then again, for all these years- I cut you slack for being a veteran.
So here is your ideal America SW, in this small micro society of FR - a divided one- Brother against Brother.
I hope you enjoy it.
I, for one, am ashamed that all over this forum Americans refuse to stand with another American ~for the good of and in honor of our troops- who are getting shot at.
To allow petty politics and ego to get in the way of what is good and decent for a solider fighitng in a war ~is not what I am about.
See ya SW- enjoy the hell you helped create.

If I remember my history correctly, whenever a national crisis arose we all become Americans first and foremost. Bullshit. FreeRepublic doesn't - as evidenced by this thread and others. Troops can go rot, they've said so themselves, especially if they don't think the same way they do.

I agree with your post Diva...and I am sick of seeing our service members attacked and ridiculed. Old Sarge is a hero to my family, and should be respected for the sacrifice he pays every day.
He has a family waiting for him in the states. Yet he is serving our country so people like stand watie can have freedom of speech to stomp on him! I'm sick of seeing it!
God Bless you Sarge...remember, you are loved and respected by many! This person doesn't speak for me and my family!

I am reminded of the Khmer Rouge exiling of all of the people
out of Phanom Penh . The great exodus of sorrow and suffering and unfair banishment from ones own rightful home , I see was practiced also long ago....

that's all FINE & GOOD, BUT we should NOT forget that families like mine were MASSACRED just because they were poor & NOT white people.(the VAST majority of the victimized were neither white or "well fixed financially".)
ignoring such atrocities in the name of "let's all get along" assures that such things will happen again.
NOBODY can "whitewash" what sherman & his coven of war criminals UNDENIABLY did in the prostrated southland-NOBODY!

dear lady,
i did NOT attack "old sarge" for being a veteran in combat, but simply reminded him that he is spewing out anti-southern, REVISIONIST, propaganda (whether he KNOWS that it is propaganda or not) and/or trying to cover-up what the minions of sherman, the destroyer, did.
what sherman did as a SOLDIER is not what is at stake here, but rather we must all remember that "winning at any cost" , while losing our HONOR,is NOT the American way. and it certainly is NOT DECENT, either. imVho, that is what sherman forgot, if he ever knew it.

nope, i don't.
if it had been YOUR family that was tortured,raped,robbed & slaughtered as if they were livestock, would you glory in that atrocity.
fwiw, i too, was a soldier, though i'm evidently too old to be re-called, despite my volunteering to do so more than 2 years ago.

i agree. BUT trying to whitewash the past GUARANTEES that it will happen again.
PITY, that some here don't seem to understand that relatively simple concept.
and as for attacking me personally, i wonder how many of the attackers served in the military service at all, much less did 20.5 honorable years????
