re: Vanderbilt pays $1.2M to remove 'Confederate' from dorm name

Apparently I mean you. A lot of people thought the wars I fought in were ill advised, unjust, and unfair to the people in the countries in which I fought. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But the friends I had who dies in the those wars should be honored regardless because they were only trying to serve their country. That memorial hall does NOT honor the government of the Confederacy, it honors the men who died fighting under it, in their minds to protect their homes and people. I absolutely believe the world is better for the Confederate defeat. I also believe that slavery is one of the worst, if not the worst, evil ever perpetrated by the the people of the United States. But every time I see something that gives me qualms I don't want it scraped away and forgotten.
