Would you call it historical revisionism to remove Confederate monuments 150 years after the Civil War?

No. It is not historical revisionism to remove statues or rename buildings etc. for racists, or for any other reason. But why limit it to Confederate Civil War generals, politicians and slave owners? There are many slave owners and racists who have been honored with monuments, statutes and buildings. If some, why not all? First let’s deal with the term “Traitor” that many respondents have used for the Confederates. The 1783 Treaty of Paris ended the war between the colonies and Great Britain. It’s first article declared the 13 colonies “to be free, sovereign and independent states.” In 1787, these 13 sovereign nations came together as principals and created the federal government as their agent for specific activities, i.e. “enumerated powers”. Principals have the right to fire their agent and withdraw from the pact, that is secede. During the 1787 Constitutional Convention, a proposal was made that would allow the federal government to suppress a seceding state. James Madison rejected...

In war, does life expectancy go up with battle experience?

I would say yes to a certain degree. Skills are learned when you are in combat that are not learned in training. Some of it is just luck. This assumes that other things are equal. Not all combat is equal by any means. Some jobs are just less dangerous than others even in active combat operations. For instance incoming artillery rounds sound different from outgoing artillery rounds. I learned this from experience in about one day. The luck comes in when the spot you picked to take cover in gets hit or not. The first you have some control over, but absolutely no control over the second. This information is from Korea. Experiences after that may be different.
