[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean seriously. Its INAPPROPRIATE now to remember or admire people who were successful.in wartime? So strike baron von Steuben from the monuments? Bump George Washington down a notch??[/quote]

It is pure penis envy on the liberal side. Just ignore :-)[/quote]

Actually this PP was talking to me - a military spouse whose DH did 2 tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan.  In order to get context of what I ACTUALLY said, you should read the post she is responding to.

As an aside, it kind of sucks that folks turn everything into a Lib/Con or a Black/White discussion.  All it does is dumb down whatever discussion we are having. [/quote]

I have a military spouse too PP. And I think it's laughable that you think it's INAPPROPRIATE to celebrate someone who did their job in war extremely well.  We have halls filled with people who we celebrate in that manner. Petreaus was a successful planner, George Washington was a successful leader, Kyle was a successful sniper.  They did their war jobs extremely well. Inappropriate?  I just don't get it.  Well, that's why when people generalize about military and their families they go astray...we have at least proven here we are all cut from different cloth.  [/quote]

I thought that odd too. How many of our American boys would have died were it not for Kyle and others like him? It could have been PP's husband. I think she should thank God that he came home alive.[/quote]
