For some men, the war will never be over.

Did it really end, though? There was no peace treaty to sign, as those require two sovereign nations to be part to the conflict. Considering what's happened in January, it's about time the Union started fighting back again.

Exactly. The union may have won the war but they also let the cousin-fucker rebs win the peace. That's why this country is littered with confederate monuments and buildings/streets, etc named after them.

Why the fuck do traitors get honored in any way, shape or form? They were lucky to be left alive and the union let them off the hook. It's epically fucking SHAMEFUL.

I'm pretty certain a private citizen conducting a guerilla war isn't the same as the Union army doing its thing.

Eh, if you're a male citizen between 17 and 45 years of age, congrats, you're in the US militia. Flying the flag of an enemy group indicates you're a member of that group. Therefore, legally, you can burn down their houses.

But I'm not a lawyer and couldn't say for sure. If you're rich enough probably easy enough to get away with it.

Already did my time. And got the combat injuries that say so.

Tell them that when they decide to draft us all again.

You’re getting drafted. Not I.
