Right or wrong, all of the soldiers did their jobs and there was plenty of war-crimes and atrocities on both sides. After that time, If I remember my history correctly, whenever a national crisis arose we all become Americans first and foremost.
sherman's legacy was WAR CRIMINALITY. he should have been HANGED.

If you had bothered to notice, I didn't post this thread, but once again, you use it as a convenient excuse to launch an attack against an American soldier - not a confederate or a northerner, but an American - a fact you have, over countless threads and posts, chosen to ignore in your enthusiasm to spit on me, my flag, my country, and my uniform.
Your personal animus against me might be excusable - but constantly tearing down the country that sheltered my immigrant ancestors, and wrapping yourself in your senior FReeper status has finally crossed the line. I don't care if "some FReepers are more equal than others", and it may result in my banishment from the forum, but enough is enough.
You so blithely run down my country and preach division and hate speech and direct it against me, covering your hatred of America. Your bigotry against America shows in each and every post you leave on this forum, and you're never called on it. I can only assume that the management of Free Republic advocates and supports what you say.
I demand to know: does Free Republic hide its hatred under the mask of patriotism? It's the only possible explanation for the continued tolerance of hate speech such as I have experienced.
I await the deafening silence to follow. Or the lightning.

SW it's not Old Sarge's thread...and he was trying to draw parallel's to the current WOT.
Read a little cloer first before you jump on people.
