| #7 Wiki on 29th ID: "The 29th Infantry Division has been featured numerous times in popular media, particularly for its role on D-Day. The division's actions on Omaha Beach are featured prominently in the 1962 film The Longest Day,[61] as well as in the 1998 film Saving Private Ryan.[62][63] Soldiers of the division are featured in other films and television with smaller roles, such as in the 2009 film Inglourious Basterds and the 2005 film War of the Worlds.[citation needed] The 29th Infantry Division is also featured in numerous video games related to World War II. The division's advance through Normandy and Europe is featured in the games Close Combat, Company of Heroes and Call of Duty 3, in which the player assumes the role of a soldier of the division.[64]" No wonder the Wokesters have a good hate for the 29th ID --it's popular with all the wrong people! |

| #6 Lee's actions after the war more than qualify him for recognition. It all could have degenerated into an ongoing unending insurgency at even greater costs to each side. Instead, Lee set the example, and had the influence that it required, that the issue was done and over. |

| #5 I despise the motives behind this. Orwellian erasure of our history is essential to its deconstruction to create the basis for revolutionary thought. They have to make American exceptionalism and prosperity brought on by capitalism and a vast middle class into a hate filled lie to justify the globalist future they are selling. Honoring Confederate Generals was an act of reconciliation and recognition of resumed brotherhood. History of shared national comity, with all the sad exceptions along the way, doesn't fit the "white supremacy and racism" needed to fuel the useful idiot minds for the coming revolution. "Who controls the past, controls the future: who controls the present, controls the past… The mutability of the past is the central tenet of Ingsoc. Past events, it is argued, have no objective existence, but survive only in written records and in human memories. The past is whatever the records and the memories agree upon. And since the Party is in full control of all records, and in equally full control of the minds of its members, it follows that the past is whatever the Party chooses to make it." |

| #4 E pluribus unum! So it references a 'coming together' after a bitter Civil War -- what an absolutely horrid idea to Wokester bigots. I thought for a moment that it was a Ku Klux Klan insignia the way they were acting. |

| #1 Had no problem with it when they were needing lots of southern boys to fill the ranks 1917-1973. |
