I just retired from a 20+ year military career, 10 years of which were spent in the Deepest South.
I have a 2nd cousin who went 25years in the Marine Corps and retired as a Gunnery Sargeant. I'm in the habit of thanking the vets for being there for us regardless of where they're from. I would hope you'd have enjoyed your stay down here.
This particular Yankee can lay it on so thick you'd swear by Robert E. Lee himself that I was a Right Honorable Son of the Confederacy. But I'm under no delusions that J.E.B. Stuart will arise magically from the grave and right the wrongs of William Tecumseh "Van Halen Ultimate Road Trip Weekend in Atlanta" Sherman.
Most Southerners I know aren't under those delusions either. The KKK may be, the way they think
all the answer are pre-War. As to Sherman, history has shown his true colors and his lack of character has been expounded upon by at least one Liberal college professor I studied with.
China will win a hostile economic takeover of the U.S. well before that ever happens. Hell, even that fine Southern institution known as the KKK would get tax-exempt status first.
China maybe. They seem well on their way. KKK? I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.
If you're going to inject bull$hit one-liners about the "War of Northern Aggression", then be a big boy and take your lumps when I or anybody else throws it back in your face, ok? Or did you not think you'd get called on it on a forum comprised of (surprise!) people from all over the place? BTW, you can drop the faux angst bit, too. You're simply pissed because I caught you with foot-in-mouth disease on a public forum, and then managed to get your goat, too.
You know, I'm on other boards comprised of "people from all over the place" who beleive one version or the other of that war. One in particular, I've been posting with those folks for several years and we all get along a hell of a lot better than your abrasive attitude allows for. Foot-in-mouth disease? Get real. This subject of the truth of the war has been hashed and re-hashed and no matter how many times, there will be a split along the lines of who's read what. Neither of us is about to believe what the other is saying on this subject. Looks to me more like I got your goat.
Let me guess, you were the one at the ball game yelling at me when I didn't stand up for the playing of "Dixie" all those years ago...
You never did attend Ol' Miss games, did you? No wonder you didn't stand up for it. They're about the only school that played "Dixie". But neither did I because I didn't attend those games either.
