General Forrest was on a train with his staff on their way to Tupelo. A lady recognized the general and eventually was engaged in conversation with ole Bedford and his staff. the lady asked, "General, why is it the hair on your head is gray and your beard is black?"

Forrest responded — "I don't know, ma'am, unless it's because I work my head more'n I do my jaws."

The lady lapsed into silence.

It doesnt have to be the South. The rebel flag is a big fuck you to federal power. The biggest fuck you we ever gave them. Right now we need this attitude again.

Forrest III graduated West Point in 1928 and was commissioned as a cavalry officer, he transferred to the Army Air Corps in 1929 and rose swiftly through the ranks, becoming chief of staff of the Second Air Force. Promoted to brigadier general in 1942, Forrest served as an observer with the Eighth Air Force in England during World War II. Tragically, he became the first American general officer killed in action in the European Theater on June 13, 1943, when his B-17 bomber was shot down over the Baltic Sea during a raid on Kiel, Germany.

This was Marine Sgt. Tyler Ziegel and his new wife in October 2006. Do they look like hapoy newlyweds? Look at his face, look at her face. She soon divorced him, not being able to deal with his disfigurement. Ziegel tried to make life work, but the VA failed him, paying substantially less than he needed and deserved. His injuries went beyond his appearance, and holding a normal job was impossible.

Ziegel died on December 26, 2012, from an overdose of alcohol and morphine. You could make the argument that his life ended when he was deployed. If you ask why I'm being a hippy about war, look no further than Sgt. Tyler Ziegel. God bless his soul, and God curse the people who sent him there.

Donald Trump is the only candidate advocating the restoration of historical names and monuments to bases and cemeteries, and therefore he is the only candidate I can support.

“Robert E. Lee is not only the greatest soldier of America, but the greatest soldier now living in the world. This is my deliberate conviction, from a full knowledge of his extraordinary abilities; and if the occasion ever arises, Lee will win this place in the estimation of the whole world.”

This feels appropriate this morning…Eisenhower’s commentary on Lee…

[Historic Vids @historyinmemes]

On August 1, 1960, President Dwight D. Eisenhower received a letter from a frustrated citizen named Leon Scott. Mr. Scott asked Eisenhower why he had a picture of Robert E. Lee in his office. This was Eisenhower's response to Mr. Scott:

"Dear Dr. Scott,

Respecting your August 1 inquiry calling attention to my often expressed admiration for General Robert E. Lee, I would say, first, that we need to understand that at the time of the War between the States, the issue of secession had remained unresolved for more than 70 years. Men of probity, character, public standing, and unquestioned loyalty, both North and South, had disagreed over this issue as a matter of principle from the day our Constitution was adopted. General Robert E. Lee was, in my estimation, one of the supremely gifted men produced by our Nation. He believed unswervingly in the Constitutional validity of his cause which, until 1865, was still an arguable question in America; he was a poised and inspiring leader, true to the high trust reposed in him by millions of his fellow citizens; he was thoughtful yet demanding of his officers and men, forbearing with captured enemies but ingenious, unrelenting, and personally courageous in battle, and never disheartened by a reverse or obstacle. Through all his many trials, he remained selfless almost to a fault and unfailing in his faith in God. Taken altogether, he was noble as a leader and as a man, and unsullied as read the pages of our history.

From deep conviction, I simply say this: a nation of men of Lee's calibre would be unconquerable in spirit and soul. Indeed, to the degree that present-day American youth will strive to emulate his rare qualities, including his devotion to this land as revealed in his painstaking efforts to help heal the Nation's wounds once the bitter struggle was over, we, in our own time of danger in a divided world, will be strengthened and our love of freedom sustained. Such are the reasons that I proudly display the picture of this great American on my office wall.

Sincerely,
Dwight D. Eisenhower"

@DavidP666696966 @ArmisDei Revelation 6:10
And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?”

[Jeremiah “Jasper” Thompson @jjfThompson]

“The official story that the war was about the South’s desire to protect and expand slavery and the North’s determination to abolish it is not merely an error in academic history. The evidence against it has not been ignored so much as it has been suppressed. It had to be suppressed because it contradicts the legitimizing myth of the centralized nationalist regime that emerged after the war. Having been repeated so often it has come to be believed because of repetition.”
~ Robert Penn Warren

[Virginia Flaggers @thevaflaggers]

Bennett Young writing about Nathan Bedford Forrest, who was born July 13th, 1821 --

His enemies feared and hated him as they did no other general of the South. War with Forrest was not only "hell," but savagest hell. His idea of war was to fight and kill and destroy with fiercest energy. It has been said that he considered the raising of the black flag as the most economical and merciful way of ending the war. His methods were not calculated to impress his foes with admiration. The many reverses they had suffered at his hands, the wholesome fear of his presence, his desperate courage, boundless resources, rapidity of movement, rapidity of onslaught, recklessness in facing death, and insensibility to fatigue made failure practically unknown in his campaigns, and he became a terror to his foes and a tower of strength to his comrades.
