Stupidity then. A people should know when they are beaten.

Sherman is one of my favorites.

For a brief time I found you humorous. Congratulations, you are now graduated to a rank of fool. Anyone who supports raping, looting and pillaging is no better than the ones doing it. No wonder you're lonesome.

as i recall, rhett did spend some time at west point...when the end was near and the cause lost, what did rhett do...well, he left scarlett, melanie and the baby in the rain and went off to join hood's army on its way to disaster in tennessee...in addition to artillery skills, perhaps rhett also learned about: duty, honor and country...

and do not be too critical of sherman...he and forrest viewed war pretty much the same, a mean, brutal business...cept forrest was far better at the business of killing...and he was not burdened with a professional military education and did not delude himself with a peacetime officer and a gentleman persona...

or simply put "war meanings fighting and fighting means killing"

surprised no one has brought up fort pillow here...

+1 Thanks, Miller.

lonesome, I spent a few minutes going over your past posts, way back to the beginning, because I want to understand what's going on with you. When you came on this forum you were a genial fellow, talked about specific doubles, and contributed worthwhile information. Sometime, along about the end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013, your tone of posting changed from genial and considerate to cynical, smart azz, and downright rude. I know by your posts that you are a Marine and did at least one tour in the Middle east. I appreciate that, and that is not condescension. I am a vet, too, and take every opportunity to thank other vets for their service. Thank you. Don't know how the deployment in 2012 went, but if it was tough, know that you have my appreciation for your sacrifice.

Bottom line..............you have given for our freedom, and I am grateful. Though we do not even come close to seeing eye to eye about a lot of things, not the least of which is W.T. Sherman, know that you have my appreciation for your service, and I will try to remember that when you post something I strongly disagree with.

All my best, SRH
