OMG Another Confederate rememberance that must be destroyed

[Eagle_Eye]

But you're the one always defending Confederate statues!
Who needs them "150+ years ago"

That's right simply because of assholes who think their feelings are more important that the rights of the people who erected those statues.

The way I see it if they don't care to do the job they swore an oath to do then they should go back (state) where they came from.

That didn't answer the question

That didn't answer the question

Yes it did you just don't understand it.

Forest was not a General of a full fledge army.

No he wasn’t and I wouldn’t compare him to Grant but Forest was a remarkable man. The uneducated son of a frontiersman he became a millionaire (ok, it was in the slave trade which isn’t admirable at all) the joined the Confedearate Army as a private and rose to Lieutenant General. No single individual in the entire Civil War rose as far as he did. He and General Thomas were the only Civil War Generals to never lose a battle and Forest was the only Confederate General not defeated in the field and did not surrender. His tactics were the basis of today’s modern mobile arms and reads straight out out today’s army field manual. General Guiderion of Blitzkreig fame modeled his tactics after Forest and this from an uneducated frontiersman with no formal military education or training. No modern General has ever killed as many enemy combatants in hand to hand combat either. So Forest, warts and all was a fascinating man, a natural genius and a war criminal and racist but he was still the best General The Confederacy had and had he been in over all command the Confederacy probably wouldn’t have lost.

He's the one that couldn't fight like a man.

You mean like at Shilo? Give me a fucking break. Sherman brought war to those who wanted and started a war. If they couldn’t take what they started that makes them the cowards.

 

[Mott the Hoople]

He couldn't fight like a man.

Did you know arson was illegal?

Did you know treason is a crime?

 

[Mott the Hoople]

So you think arson isn't illegal?

Not when you’re at war. Are you saying the fire bombing if Tokyo was illegal during WWII?

 

[Mott the Hoople]

Who the fuck cares about something that happened 150+ years ago there are problems facing this nation today that are more important than dwelling on the past.

Obviously you do.

What about the rights of the people in those communities who are offended by bigots and traitors?

I can play your silly fucking game what about those residents that aren't offended their rights hold just as much weight as the whiners like you.

There is so much more to commanding a whole army than fighting,there is supplies,dealing with subordinates,etc.
To say Forest would have won the war for the South is laughable.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Obviously you do.

You place a lot of meaning on protecting people from being offended. So how about not posting anymore as your posts offend me?

 

[Minister of Truth]

War heroes don't fight like cowards.

He engaged the enemy. How is that cowardly? Also, you have no standing to call Sherman a coward.

 

[Minister of Truth]

I can play your silly fucking game what about those residents that aren't offended their rights hold just as much weight as the whiners like you.

Not if they support traitors.

 

[Cypress]

Oh the horror a rock carving showing Confederate leadership. Where are the asshole hide history social justice warriors?

View attachment 10793

A lot of us do not respect traitors who decided they did not want to be American citizens anymore, left our nation to form their own country, took up arms with the aim of killing American soldiers serving under the Stars and Stripes, and attacked American military installations.

That kind of treason rubs a lot of us the wrong way

And the north committed a lot of atrocities against the South also. But that is unimportant. The civil war ended over 150 years ago. It is only idiot social warriors that make an issue of it! Anyone who had any part in the war is long gone! It fucking happened let it go.

Oh please. Do you get this worked up over Benedict Arnold?

 

[Mason Michaels]

R.E.Lee was a much bigger enemy of the USA then Benedict Arnold.

He only showed them that going to war against their own country was a very, very bad idea. Sherman was not a great of an all around General as Grant. He lacked Grants all over military ability and determination and no one in the 19th Century was even close to Grant as a military strategist (except Napoleon, of course) but in many respects Sherman was the first modern General and none of the Confederate Generals were as able as he was.

Napoleon is overrated

No actually it isn’t at all. I didn’t say he would have won I said the Confederacy could have won the war because Forest was an extremely competent guerrilla commander and had the Confederacy gone that route they probably could have won. Keep in mind that the Confederacy could have won the Civil War by simply not losing it. They only needed a stalemate to win. The Union had the considerably more difficult task of having to conquer a vast territory. Had the Confederacy had a Commander who didn’t waste limited and irreplaceable resources as Lee did, they very well could have.
