I know some here will disagree but those men were not traitors. I believe secession was wrong but they did not want to overthrow the U.S. government. They resigned any commissions they had in the U.S. army and it can be argued once their states seceded they were no longer U.S. citizens. So where was the treason?

Every time a current or former General opens his mouth it makes it feel like ANTIFA is the military arm of the Pentagon.

Said in jest but containing a deadly truth. These establishment milicrats will be more than happy to direct the woke military against normal Americans.

“Surprising that Petraeus would stick his head up. I suspect he is virtue signaling for senile Joe’s handlers to consider him for some juicy position in the Biden (spit) administration.”

Bingo!

They're not "traitors" because we moved beyond that. They're all American veterans now.

It's your history whether you like it or not General!

If you erase it, who is going to learn anything from it?

They will go after the American Flag next. And don’t expect our Nation’s Capital to be named after George Washington for much longer.

Hey Betrayus, you Deep State sack of crap, you’re not one-tenth the man that Robert E. Lee was, or Braxton Bragg, or Henry Benning.

If you moonbat creeps keep trying to erase Southern history, maybe it’s time for them to secede once again.

The US Constitution, Section III, Article 3: “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.”

Are you suggesting that these individuals (all general officers in the Confederate Army) didn’t levy war against the United States?

WDC will be changed to “Handsupdontshoot” or to “Icantbreathe”. Pathetic yet possible.

We do not live in a country to which Braxton Bragg, Henry L. Benning, or Robert E. Lee can serve as an inspiration

But George Floyd can . . .
