Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley criticized Confederate symbols before the House Armed Services Committee on Thursday, and called the Civil War an act of treason, Axios reports.
Said Milley: For those young soldiers that go on to a base of Fort Hood, Fort Bragg, whatever, named after a Confederate general, they can be reminded that that general fought for an institution of slavery.

... We will rally from the hillside and gather from the plain! ... Down with the traitors and up with the stars! ... And we'll fill our vacant ranks with a million free men more, shouting the battle cry of freedom! ... We will welcome to our numbers the loyal, true and brave ... and although he may be poor, not a man will be a slave ... So we're springing to the call from the East and from the West ... and we'll hurl the rebel crew from the land that we love best, shouting the battle cry of Freedom!
