Those little Weasels.

Thomas Williams

You know, that little mean New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu turned his back on all the American heroes in the Civil War.

Tearing down Confederate General Statues like the little worm that he is. Great accomplished heroes from America's past who Mayor Mitch Landrieu couldn't tie their shoelaces. Uh, oh, the LSU administration took down Lieutenant General Troy Houston Middleton's name from the LSU library because he lived in segregated times. Can you imagine that? A great man like Troy Houston Middleton. God Almighty, those little weasels, the woke vipers from recent days.

Lieutenant General Troy Houston Middleton (12 October 1889 – 9 October 1976) was a distinguished educator and senior officer of the United States Army who served as a corps commander in the European Theatre during World War II and later as president of Louisiana State University (LSU).

Enlisting in the U.S. Army in 1910, Middleton was first assigned to the 29th Infantry Regiment, where he worked as a clerk. Here he did not become an infantryman as he had hoped, but he was pressed into service playing football, a sport strongly endorsed by the army. Following two years of enlisted service, Middleton was transferred to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where he was given the opportunity to compete for an officer's commission. Of the 300 individuals who were vying for a commission, 56 were selected, and four of them, including Middleton, would become general officers. As a new second lieutenant, Middleton was assigned to the 7th Infantry Regiment in Galveston, Texas, which was soon pressed into service, responding to events created by the Mexican Revolution. Middleton spent seven months doing occupation duty in the Mexican port city of Veracruz, and later was assigned to Douglas, Arizona, where his unit skirmished with some of Pancho Villa's fighters.

Confederate soldiers were not heroes. They fought to keep slavery. And you're supporting them is very telling of the kind of person you are.

Joey Haywood - you are criticizing people you don't know, living in history, fighting and dying for their reasons back then. So we don't have an argument. I disagree with your assumption about brave, strong, and truthful people dying in the 1860-64 Civil War.
