Great discussion, guys.

Oh, and if we’re supposed to be picking sides, all I can say is: The South shall rise again!

I was only trying to point out how it is guilt free to hate fictional enemies, but the real ones always have real lives.

May I humbly suggest that we focus on discussing the merits and demerits of the fictional characters here, and leave in-depth political arguments to other forums where they are more appropriate (or at least more common)?

I’m pretty sure we will get enough fodder from the coming pages.

[BTW, no offense intended to T. Gatto or anyone else who voiced their opinion.]

The soldiers of the CSA fought for many reasons, and not all of them fought for the preservation slavery. Many fought for states rights, or duty to ones home town. They often considered the war a Rich Man’s war fought by poor men.

The Union Soldiers were also not all in the fight to end slavery, and Lincoln even feared that by signing the Emancipation Proclamation he would alienate his forces from the cause.

It is therefore difficult to assign a moral value to the troops of the Civil War, based simply on Slavery and White Supremacy alone. I’m not even going to get into the Nazis and other WWII soldiers here.

The Giga-Reich are (at least in my mind) wholly masters of EVIL to the core!

Their list of charges, in addition to the obvious Universal Domination and Sour-Kraut breath, includes such grave Human Rights Violations as routinely kicking puppy dogs for sport, talking (loudly) in the theater, and never ever using their blinkers (even in heavy traffic). They even stoop so low as to drink milk directly from the carton when visiting the homes of others, they never return borrowed tools or books in respectable condition, and even post “Walking Dead” and “Game of Thrones” spoilers on Facebook and Twitter.

I feel a certain respect for CSA soldiers, (however misguided), but the Giga-Reich must die, and the scattered remains be hunted down like dogs lest they return!
