I just hope no one messes with the Nashville Forrest statue:



It provides too much inspiration for the Fark Board.

I've been there a few times as a kid. Actually pretty cool.

Wow, whomever made that thought that either Forrest was a midget or that King Phillip was a gigantic prehistoric horse thing...

Is that a bullet hole in the leg of the statue?

Look at him. Those are the eyes of a maniac.

TAKE THAT STATUTE DOWN!

Edit: It's already in the works (even though it's on private land): The Tennessean

Between Memphis trying to exhume his body, and Nashville trying to take down his bust in the statehouse and replace it with a man who hated the state of Tennessee, I dare say NBF would be better served in Arkansas.

When does MTSU change their nickname?

I'm offended that half of the stuff in this city is named after Muhammad Ali who was not only a draft dodger but also belongs to the Nation of Islam which is an extremist, extremely racist and bigoted organization. Time to remove it all.

Do you Brice's Crossroads?

Besides, he was not a general in the Army of the Trans-Mississippi, but in the Army of Tennessee (which, after 1862, included the Army of Mississippi).

Aye, but as the state of Tennessee attempts furiously to scrub him from their history, I s'pose his body ought to go somewhere.

Agreed.

If New Orleans and Louisiana attempt to do the same with General P.G.T Beauregard, South Carolina would be his proper place for reinterment-but that won't happen, obviously.

That's the white mans fault...blacks don't run the media, don't even own any media companies like CNN, FOX, MSNBC, Al Jeezera, etc.

Barbarians are the types of people who would deliberately desecrate the war memorials of their "enemies".

What type of people want to do it 150 years later?
