Putin's Russia is enamored with antichrist Edomite-jew-bolshevik WW2 'victory'... and now to kow-tow to black cultural marxist revolutionaries, US leaders are re-fighting the civil war.


Top US general says Confederate leaders committed 'treason' and signals support for renaming bases

Thu July 9, 2020

" Washington (CNN)- America's top general launched an outspoken attack on the Confederacy and signaled his support for the military renaming bases named for Confederate leaders on Wednesday, in his latest public comments that seem to put him at odds with President Donald Trump.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley did not hold back in an appearance before the House Armed Service Committee, stating that "those officers turned their back on their oath," referring to the names on the bases. "It was an act of treason, at the time, against the Union, against the Stars and Stripes, against the US Constitution."

Those who served in the Confederate forces are, by law, U.S. veterans.

It has taken a long time for this nation's wounds to heal. It's sad that the general would pick the scabs.

What is worse than defeat ... surrender!

Reminds me of a line from a Confederate poem written during the civil war...

War to the hilt, theirs be the guilt,
Who fetter the free man to ransom the slave.

the CSA was a legally constituted nation. The south may have fired the first shot but the invaders were the northern forces. We honor our dead. Southerners did not flock to enroll in the army because they wanted to protect their slaves.No, they enlisted to throw back the invasion of their homeland. You can change the names but not the history. It will still be there, taught in our schools again when you libritards are wiped off the stage of this life. prep and pray, the end has arrived.

If the founders of the Confederacy were traitors for leaving the Union, then what were the founding fathers of the United States for leaving Great Britain? Seems to me, if we use the general's definition of traitor, he is a traitor by serving in the armed forces of a nation that was founded by war against the mother country.

Confederates fought for freedom, not slavery [most of them didn't own slaves.]

In my library I have two original books [both published in the 1860s] of Confederate war poems written by Southerners and published in Southern newspapers during and right after the civil war. In those poems you can see what really mattered to average Southerners, why they supported the bold historic move to leave the union and why they fought a four year long war to remain free. It was the South's war of independence from US federal government tyranny. As a Texan whose ancestors fought for Anglo Texas' war of independence from Mexico and the CSA's war of independence from the USA, I understand their yearning to be free, especially now that the draconian US federal government is once again enslaving and destroying Anglo freemen.


Here is one of the Confederate poems:

The Southern Cross [1]

By E. K. Blunt.

In the name of God! Amen!
Stand for our Southern rights;
On our side, Southern men,
The God of battles fights!
Fling the invaders far -
Hurl back their work of woe -
The voice is the voice of a brother,
But the hands are the hands of a foe.
They come with a trampling army,
Invading our native sod -
Stand, Southrons! fight and conquer,
In the name of the mighty God!

They are singing our song of triumph, [2]
Which proclaimed us proud and free -
While breaking away the heartstrings
Of our nation's harmony.
Sadly it floateth from us,
Sighing o'er land and wave;
Till, mute on the lips of the poet,
It sleeps in his Southern grave.
Spirit and song departed!
Minstrel and minstrelsy!
We mourn ye, heavy hearted, -
But we will - we will be free!

They are waving our flag above us,
With the despot's tyrant will;
With our blood they have stained its colors,
And they call it holy still.
With tearful eyes, but steady hand,
We'll tear its stripes apart,
And fling them, like broken fetters,
That may not bind the heart.
But we'll save our stars of glory,
In the might of the sacred sign
Of Him who has fixed forever
One "Southern Cross" to shine.

Stand, Southrons! fight and conquer!
Solemn, and strong, and sure!
The fight shall not be longer
Than God shall bid endure.
By the life that but yesterday
Waked with the infant's breath!
By the feet which, ere morning, may
Tread to the soldier's death!
By the blood which cries to heaven -
Crimson upon our sod!
Stand, Southrons! fight and conquer,
In the name of the mighty God!
