We have become a stupid population. The southern generals were Americans. Top of their classes at West Point. They defended their states. When the war was over part of the reconstruction was to honor their place as American warriors. They were Americans in the end. It is a unique and honorable final chapter of a brutal civil war. But now , muh feelings. Jesus help us.

And yet treasonous John Kerry was made secretary of state and ran for president.

Who is Daniel Patronizus? Don’t tell me he is yet ANOTHER DC Political General who long ago lost touch with rank and file soldiers.

Gee, until now. Convenient.

This jerk was featured in the Grant series on the History channel recently.

Pandering ass is what he is.

I don’t think anyone wants to be remembered for going down on the “Harvey Milk”

Maybe if they’d wore blackface like Governor Northam, and posed for pictures with friends dressed in KKK outfits, their statues would be acceptable.

Well the Navy does have a ship named for a known sexual predator, Harvey Milk.

Perhaps the Army could designate a large fort to be named for the illustrious LTC Michael Aquino, when he departs this mortal coil. A famous Satanist he certainly would add an inclusive note to the naming of Army installations.

Sounds like Petraus hasn’t screwed a book author in a while.

If it is oh so important now, why wasn’t it important before?

This reminds me of General Ramsey Clark's nonsense that he worked his way through West Point when he ran for President. Petreaus is pandering to what he thinks is the mainstream view. Just like many Generals before him who had political aspirations, he is rather bad at it.

The sheep and the goats are separating themselves in plain view. The goats think they are heading for positions in the world order . . .perhaps a look at the Book of Revelation is in order for them. Are you hearing any of these democrats or leftist Republicans asking for prayer? Anyone not seeing what is going on is fooling themselves.

I had not thought about that for years! I recall his girlfriend, a feisty little redhead, also part of the service. I think she was ‘helping him with his memoirs’.
I have no idea what became of her.
After Obama was re-elected in 2012, all this came crashing down on Petraeus immediately afterward.

Their cause was wrong, but it’s also wrong to call them traitors. At the time, it wasn’t established that succession was not allowed. There was no precedent to draw upon. Suppose, when the Constitution was being formed, the southern states had been told that, once in/always in, no matter what. They most likely never would have joined the union, there would have been no civil war, and slavery could have lasted another 40 years.

This is from a once proud native of Georgia whose nickname at West Point was “Peaches.”

It’s a mad dash to the finish line to see which White virtue-signaler can be the wokest of them all. The winner gets the Brees Peace Prize.
