I actually propose that instead of taking down the Lee statue, we add statues of other GREAT generals of the past, maybe placing them on the National Mall. Here is the list:
Rommel
Goering
Keitel
Von Richthofen
Hindenberg
Gage
Howe
Burgoyne
Cornwallis
Arnold
Santa Anna
Giap
What do they all have in common? Like Lee, they were all great generals. Also like Lee, they all fought AGAINST the United States. I guess that second part is what is important to a certain segment of the population.
