| | Sent to War... Into Honor or Infamy |
 | | These soldiers, in the aftermath of the Civil War, with its ostensible freeing of the slaves, were not treated equally with their white counterparts and denied the compensations promised after their service. |
 | | Yet, their service, albeit admirable by standards of valor, courage and commitment -- not to mention, the attended glory given their duties of protecting white encroachers -- was, ironically, dedicated to the killing and enslaving of a people, to continue the unmolested plundering of their way of life. |
 | | But this war sucks; it is not waged for self-defense or self-autonomous liberation. |
