See any NAZI flags in Germany? See any statues of Hitler? See any statues of Saddam Husain.

I firmly believe we should accurately teach our children about our history, both the good and the bad. As a vet I am totally opposed to honoring anyone that that’s up arm against our country.
The US Government did not consider them to be traitors...

No matter how many times you repeat yourself...
