I wish this attitude would spread. I live across the street from a memorial to Nazis and just hate it so much. It gets vandalized at least once a month, but the city never fails to wash away the spray paint.
We do still have one too many statues to these people. I have seen one that gets routinely vandalized (maybe it’s the one you’re talking about) but I’m surprised no one has taken a hammer or something to it. I saw people on Twitter low-key defending keeping the memorial as you don’t know every individual soldiers motives for joining, so it’s mean or whatever to take it down. It’s quite pathetic but that’s where we’re at right now in the public discourse.
