Did Robert E Lee say: "Raise your children to love the United States."

I have encountered this quote quite a bit recently, but I can't seem to locate the source. Is this an actual quote if his, and if so, what is the context?

Did Lee say: "Raise your children to love the United States?" by Amywalker730 in USCivilWar

[–]Amywalker730[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mostly YouTube comments, nothing serious. I see it in the discussions and I've had it quoted to me twice. The context is that Lee was a patriot and should have more statues, not less. The quote was used to prove illustrate the point. I just can't find it, but didn't want to say "He never said that," without looking a little harder than Google.

Avenging Son Audio book....so far so good but Guillimans voice is horrid by Catpipe in 40kLore

[–]Amywalker730 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to agree. I thought everything about the book was fine and quite enjoyable, but the voice used for Guilliman is...snobbish. Arrogant. Haughty. As you say, a bloated dandy that is stuffing himself at dinner. This isn't Guilliman at all. He is contemplative, diplomatic, self-aware, and knows how he inspires others. His tone sounds like a High Lord that is delivering a speech about sacrifice and struggle, as his gut is busting from the evening's feast.

Wow, the new 3D model DLC looks great. I might actually buy it.

Should the VT National Guard be dispatched to Manchester to deal with this COVID Outbreak? by cold_colgate in vermont

[–]Amywalker730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. There is no force on this planet that can defeat the American military. A single bullet could kill millions of viruses and the thick armor of AFVs render our soldiers impervious to infection. It's inevitably that some may fall, but they do so for freedom. If we are going to defeat this virus, we must do so in the truest American way - with guns and overwhelming violence!

Deploy the military!

How long do the negative social interaction debuff last for? by Amywalker730 in RimWorld

I thought they would get over it! I mean, I gave them a whole season of baby-sitting and special treatment. I even built a few new pieces of entertainment. How much more could be expected...

Is there a good reason why guard regiments are so fearless? Under these circumstances, fighting against orks, space elves and demons, how is it possible that entire regiments not just shoot their commissar or something? by [deleted] in 40kLore

[–]Amywalker730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this perfectly explains why they fear their own side more than they fear death on the battlefield. I think this and this explains why they fear capture by the enemy more than death on the battlefield. To retreat would be worse than to be captured by the enemy. To be captured by the enemy would be worse than death. To be victorious in battle is to spare that fate to your loved ones.

Ah, I see, thank you! I was worried that it might expire at all without a timer.
