Conservatives, if you really think about it, aren't all monuments to Confederate officers really just huge, pricey participation trophies?

No, they serve both as reminders of the rebel spirit that exists in all Americans, and also to remind us of how bad we are capable of being. It seems reasonable to me that we need to remember how to be rebels, because that is how America was created, and we also need to be aware of mistakes made so we don't repeat them.

You'll never know if you never served your country.

I guess that just about sums it up.

You sir, have no honour.

350,000 White Americans died in the Civil War

This is more of a participation trophy.
