Only will say Lee was a traitor and deserves no statues, schools, streets, buildings or anything paid for with public dollars named for him.

Rommel was working for his country. Lee, a US Army officer, decided his loyalty to his state of Virginia trumped (sic) his loyalty to the United States.

That's all in the past, though, or should be.

or at least took part in the plan. Lee is one of many who was lionized into cult like status as part of the revival of white power during and after Reconstruction. Was he a raving lunatic bigot like many Confederates? No. But he was a slave-owning racist who somewhat moderated after the war and was a great general. But as Grant famously said, to paraphrase, they fought bravely but for one of the worst causes anyone ever fought for.

n/t.

Lee bailed on his country and stuck with his decision.

Rommel served his country and then figured out that AH needed to go. He took poison rather than put his family at risk.

To say that they were both good generals working for a bad cause is fair but superficial.

than Rommel...

at his funeral. He did not want divisive symbols to be displayed nor to follow him to the grave.
For that, I give him credit.
