I feel the need to point out that every Confederate officer, Lee included, chose to leave their 'country' to serve in the Confederate army, many southern officers chose not to serve the confederacy but either stayed out of the war intirely or served in the United States Army.
In this the likes of Lee and Jackson were actually more culpable then German officers, Rommel or Manstien had no choice, both legally, it was jail and potential death to refuse, and because, regardless of the fact Hitler started the war, their country was still being attacked.
