Veteran's Memorial Preservation Act

You morons need to educate as usual. Jackson pardoned the Confederates. There are laws were their gravesites are protected. Both good things. But neither makes them veterans of the US.
When a debate over Confederate monuments and flags came under the national spotlight in June 2015, codified changes in burials and pensions enacted in 1929 and 1958 were puffed up to suggest that a nebulous act of Congress, either in the 1920s or the 1950s, officially declared that Confederate soldiers were the same as United States veterans in the eyes of the federal government. However, no legislation either explicitly or implicitly granted Confederate soldiers status as United States veterans. Survivors of dead Confederate soldiers often took offense at measures appearing to equate them to Union soldiers, objections that died off as Southerners from the Civil War era did.

A lot of words and none proved Andrew Jackson was a confederate soldier. Poor dumb bruhard
You literally got the facts wrong by 20 years and then declared yourself on the side of truth?
You are a sad cartoon human. You are like dilbert minus the interesting dialogue.
Yeah, typing Jackson instead of Johnson is so horrible and makes the whole truth in which you and THE have wrong invalid.
You are a moron and defends a racist president. Along with so many. Those are more facts you will have to deal with.
Hah hah...spin spin spin...Johnson wasn't even the topic of discussion dipsh!t. No one was trying to tear down a statue of Johnson...you got it wrong so admit it.
How about you just admit your whole argument was wrong and then shut your **********.
Johnson pardoning the confederates soldiers are an important part of the conversation in addition to various pieces of legislation passed. None made them veterans where morons like you claim they do. As stated, the fact remains and you are on the wrong side of it as usual. Very typical. Want to laugh as I made a typo, that is not surprising and would have thought you have been around here long enough to understand it happens. I don't call others on typos but I guess you do only when a person makes you look like a fool. Typical but go ahead.
Because it isn't and you are another moron supporting a racist president. Deal with it, scum.
JFC we weren't even discussing Johnson you tool, but please do keep beating that drum. You made a typo...LOL..you missed the whole fvcking discussion.
Uh, it was a little more than just typing the wrong name, you defended defacing his statue based on a history of another completely different person.
Have you seen the **** that has been defaced? It’s not just Confederate Monuments. They’ve desecrated The Wall, the POW/MIA monuments, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and the list goes on.
If it was just confederate monuments, I wouldn’t care. You’re literally backing the actions of Marxist revolutionaries. You’re defending a group trying to destroy our country. You don’t even realize it.
Johnson pardoning anyone has nothing, at all, to do with the statue of Andrew Jackson moron. Just shut your stupid mouth.
Yes, I have seen it and am against all vandalism of any monument. Point still is Trump is not a king and what he is doing is unconstitutional. In addition, Confederates which is the main focus of this vandalism and the desire to remove in addition to other historical figures that were slave owners is what I am also speaking out on.which goes against Trump's comment. Confederate soldiers are not veterans. Period.
Your ignorance is bliss.
This was all about Lafayette Square and the Jackson statue last night. But you know nothing about this because MSM.
LOL! POTUS thinks he makes laws, thinks he is a dictator, loves those confederate monuments.
“Very fine people on both sides” Now do you morons get it?
He's enforcing laws on the books, and the "very fine people" has been debunked a billion times. You suck at this.
Same one I always had a degree in. Same one only you have obsessed about for years.
So, just to get my understanding of your position correct.
You acknowledge that Marxist revolutionaries are defacing Federal monuments. But it’s Trump’s fault, somehow and we need to be focused on Trump and how he is bad instead of on the people doing millions of dollars of damage for the last month?
That about sum it up?
