The same guy clarifies:

To clarify: this is a pro-union monument, she is supposed to represent Iowa as a young mother nourishing post war America with the milk of unity

[89th]

Haha when I read the inscription behind it I figured it was for the yanks

[jon-nyc]

Nope. One boob for y'all, too.

Belly up.

Surprised they allowed that in Iowa. Don't let the feminists get wind or she'll be gone before you know it.

On a more serious note...I have no problem with Union statues at all. The national park at Vicksburg (only the park at Gettysburg is older) has tons of them.

It's amazing to walk through that battlefield and look at the front lines of the siege, where men fought each other from trenches not 100 yards apart...for months...No cowards on that battlefield.

@89th I see what you did there..
