1 gone. who's next?

LOL we'd be the CSA now if the confederacy's record was anywhere near as good as the French. I've got a pile of laundry in the basement that's been there longer than the entire duration of the confederacy.

I really have no idea why Americans bash the French so much for this - and I say this as an English man. We don't blame the Jews for the Holocaust, why blame the French for being over run by the Nazis?

Tell my wife I said hello

Yeah, the hilarious part is that the "Stainless Banner" (which incorporated the familiar red background, blue X, white stars), was mostly a white flag. In fact, when the wind didn't blow you couldn't see the part near the flagstaff, so it mostly just looked like a white flag. They realized it looked too much like a flag of truce, and decided to add a red stripe to it... before surrendering less than 3 months later.

I have to say though, purely from an aesthetic point of view, the confederate battle flag is pretty cool looking.

One of them stands for a country that invaded its neighbors with the goal of starting a genocide.
The other one stands for Israel.
