Maybe the US military should honor the men who fought to preserve the Union and shatter the tyranny of chattel slavery rather than those who fought to destroy the Union and preserve it.

“We shouldn’t honor people who took up arms against the United States on memorial day” is a controversial take only if you don’t understand what the confederacy was or if there’s something about its principles that you find appealing but don’t want to say that directly.

Imagine being angry at saying the US military should not honor terrorists and war criminals. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/23/opinion/sunday/army-base-names-confederacy-racism.html?referringSource=articleShare
