They were still our people and served as honorably or dishonorably as an member of the US military. And comparing Confederate soldiers to Timothy McVeigh is the kind of flippant, Northern disdain that makes Southerners want to fly the Stars and Bars in the first place. It's also the same attitude that leads to Republicans calling Democrats socialists and Democrats calling Republicans racists. Do you really think it's a constructive way to look at things?
