You can't fix stupid this bad.
andals in North Carolina may be in need of a history lesson after having set fire to a statue honoring a World War II hero they apparently mistook for a Confederate general, officials said earlier this week.
A white marble monument of U.S. Army Maj. Gen. William C. Lee, who commanded the 101st Airborne Division's "Screaming Eagles" during World War II, was doused with flammable liquid and set on fire last week, museum officials said. The statue bears black scorch marks running up its left side.
The suspects seem to have confused Lee with Gen. Robert E. Lee, who led the Confederate army during the Civil War some 80 years earlier, officials said.

If history was their strong suit, they'd lose their raison d'etre anyway.

I doubt they care. With the Left/Democrats/Antifa it is all about destruction of anything/everything. The reason doesn't matter to them.
The goal is to tear down the fabric and history of America. If this vandalism moves that goal forward, then they are happy with it no matter who or what the statue was about.
