Did all American soldiers give a damn about liberating Jews in WWII...?
Did all American soldiers want to fight to liberate Kuwait during Desert Storm?
Did all American soldiers want to fight to on behalf of South Vietnam during the Vietnam War?
Were Japanese American citizens unfairly and unjustly accused of being "sympathizers" for Japan during WWII and illegally placed in detention camps?
Were thousands of American citizens
(of all races) and immigrants viewed as "un-American" by the HUAC at the height of The Korean War and during "The
Red Scare"?
Dude, horror, tragedy and atrocity are
ALWAYS the results of war.
So I don't know where you got the idea that I'm "romanticizing" the Civil War from, but I can assure you, I'm not.
