No surprise here, LTC Orlando Illi. Democrats have failed their constituents for 50+ years, and look for any subject to bring up that allows them to avoid addressing that fact. Its always easier to blame something or someone else than it is to assume responsibility and work to make a correction.

Ok now this is going too far. The battlefield is exactly where monuments like Lee and others belong.

MAJ James Woods - The Revolutionary war was effectively a civil war where we (the Rebels) won. I don't recall a statue of William Howe at Bunker Hill. I don't have a problem with markers and memorials, as long as they are not honoring those who fought on the side of Tyranny (Revolutionary War) or Slavery (Civil War).

SSG (Join to see) - Was the Revolutionary War a Civil War? You had colonists that decided America was going to be it's own nation and fight a tyrannical nation called England. I haven't been to Bunker Hill so you tell me what markers and memorials exists for either side at those battlefields. I've already been told by an RP member you can find statues of Benedict Arnold at different historical sites so it won't surprise me if there are memorials of other colonists who fought for Queen and Country also remembered in their home towns. You know we recognize Native American tribal leaders on battlefields from the era of post civil war western expansion with memorials. They were considered enemies of the U.S. government, would you like to remove those as well? We remember the fallen Americans from both sides of war at the battlefields they fought in a war on American soil.

MAJ James Woods - Yes, it was a Civil War. Our Civil War would also have been a Revolutionary war, had the South prevailed and become an independent country.
