As a combat vet, with a few pelts on the wall, I can't imagine fighting my brother. Fuck that noise.

The impetus for the 1905 CS flags return was the Spanish-American War. Some former CS generals commanded troops in that war; thousands of men wearing blue uniforms had to be moved through the South to Tampa, Florida for the Cuba Campaign and President William McKinley, a Civil War veteran himself (23rd Ohio Infantry) knew he had to have Southerners support the war effort and Southern men would fight in it. The head of the Ohio GAR was also vehemently against the 1887 flag return and his comments make Fairchild's look tame!
