Military brilliance is as objective as it gets. If anything, General Lee and Jackson is an inspiration to all who study military history and tactics. Together, they broke every rule in the book of military conventional wisdom. Especially with the laws of attrition in mind, they are among the top Generals ever to have walked the face of the earth. To take their portraits down would be a disgrace to the military profession.

That is quite true. Both were brilliant tacticians and leaders.

So was Rommel. Should we hang his portrait there as well?

Military makes a big thing about being first place and winning. Why would they honor the loosers?

In the case of Robert E. Lee, he took a rag-tag bunch of volunteers and faced one of best armies in the world directly, on 4 occasions. He tied once, lost once, and won 2 stunning victories. He was also on a short list of generals to lead the Union army just before the Civil War broke out.

I once read a paper that proposed that, had the confederate soldier in Texas (prior to VA seceding) had the balls to push their attack instead of just bluffing, the civil War would have been over in months instead of years.

Why would anyone want to honor traitors?

Yes, despite Lee's desire to keep the Union intact he turned down Lincoln's offer to lead the Union troops, to support his home state of Virginia.

The article said that those portraits were to be moved, not removed from the War College.

But those confederate generals fought for one of the most despicable causes ever fought for.

I agree completely, and I am forever glad they lost.

We should not honor traitors

I would rather see Gen Benedict Arnold up there

I don't see what any of this hero worship has to do with "Southern Pride". If this is what southerners draw upon to express pride, it certainly calls their value system into question.

They were simply moved. They are still hanging. There is another thread on this, you and JimCrowie should get together.

Maybe, it's because they were ENEMIES OF THE UNITED STATES.

So why does the aids brigade worship Bradley manning?

 

[NoNukes]

So why does the aids brigade worship Bradley manning?

Why are you so continuously stupid?

 

[Nosmo King]

So why does the aids brigade worship Bradley manning?

Please explain. First, who is the aids brigade? And where have you heard "worship" lavished on Pvt. Manning? And is Manning a tactician? This is a War College that concentrates studies on tactics and logistics.

Are you stretching beyond your intellectual grasp, or do you have a point to make?

They were, but they were not unpatriotic. I do not expect a publicly-educated person to understand.

Aids Brigade are fudge packers like Manning.

Where in the hell did you get Bradley Manning from this thread?
