[Vision2020] Fwd: White House Petition asking Obama not to send a wreath to the Arlington Confederate Monument

[Rosemary Huskey]

Sorry guys, I have to disagree.  Honor is associated (in my mind) with the
righteous of the cause.   Dying to preserve slavery, or establish their own
separate slave-based nation,  doesn't rise to that standard for me.  In
fact, I can think of a lot of military actions where singular acts of
courage occur. For example, saving someone life at the risk of one's own,
(probably lots of Taliban fighters do that). I am really not interested in
lobbying for a Taliban monument in Washington D.C. .because they are
courageous, are you?   After all, Confederates soldiers didn't believe they
were citizens of the United States.  Doesn't that make them enemy
combatants?

I disagree with the intent of this petition. Confederate soldiers died with
as much honor -- and as much heroism, if such a thing exists -- as their
Yankee counterparts.
