Our 1968 flag closely follows the 1916 and 1934 design, with the eagle in the same position and using (almost) the same symbolic elements. Even the 1821 flag is similar.
Look, I know Texas liked rebelling over concerns that the parent country didn't look kindly on chattel slavery, but combatants getting killed, either in combat or when executed as traitors, after starting those wars isn't being “murdered".

The Mexican flag of that war is no longer used; the current Mexican flag was adopted in 1968 (or 1995, depending on which side of the flag you are talking about, though the latter was clarifying an ambiguity in the spec more than a new design.) So, even if your concern was agreed to be otherwise valid, it's kind of like asking about banning the modern German flag because of the Nazis.
