So much for honoring 260,000 of America’s dead military veterans. South Carolina just approved the removal of the Confederate battle flag from the states Confederate Monument.
To South Carolina's Dead
Of The
Confederate Army
1861 1865
This monument
perpetuates the memory ,
of those who
true to the instincts of their birth,
faithful to the teachings of their fathers,
constant in their love for the State,
died in the performance of their duty:
Who
have glorified a fallen cause
by the simple manhood of their lives,
the patient endurance of suffering,
and the heroism of death,
and who,
in the dark house of imprisonment,
in the hopelessness of the hospital,
in the short, sharp agony of the field
found support and consolation
in the belief
that at home they would not be forgotten.
Unveiled May 13, 1879
In addition to the flag, the NAACP is also calling for removal of the actual monuments to the these military veterans all across America..

So much for these veterans not being forgotten. The re-writing of history and the precedent this sets for all veterans of American military conflicts is absolutely sickening.
Shit on the masses at the arbitrary demands of the vocal few...the new American way! So much for the views of the 70 million Americans that were/are related to these veterans.
