So in your eyes, honoring a relative who died fighting for the South

Would be "not far removed" from honoring a relative who murdered Jews?

Responses:

Correct, if you are honoring them *for* having fought for the South. - TWuG Apr 1, 10:28 3
- how many of them actually had a choice whether to fight or not? and for which side? I thought the army came to town and took everyone with them. -- nm - zork Apr 1, 10:33 2
  - I'm sure there were conscripts who fought against their will. But would you be honoring those folks by using the stars and bars? - TWuG Apr 1, 10:38 1
    - right...seems like another reason not to fly that particular flag. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 1, 10:43
