This morning's edition of the Cincinnati Enquirer carries a story that Tennessee wants its regimental battle flags back, ones captured by Ohio troops.

Is this a good idea?

Always ask yourself: "Am I part of the Solution?" If you aren't, then you are part of the Problem!

Bad idea. I think either Mississippi or South Carolina, or groups from those states tried to get a flag back from Minnesota a few years ago. I don't get it. If they got captured, they got captured.
edit: Never mind, they're talking about flags in the hands of a private collection. The Minnesota example was one where the flag was the property of the State of Minnesota, maybe it wasn't even a flag, but a cannon. I can't remember.
Oh my God, lay me down!
