Watch 'em all in a lump over a three-day weekend, and you'll understand Grant's "War is Hell" statement, and perhaps, not so be gung-ho when voting for draft-dodging fear-mongering Republican candidates who believe that our national security is enhanced by invading an "attractive" Middle-East country...

Actually Gunk, William T. Sherman uttered that observation, during the Battle of Bald Beaver Creek, somehwere in Kentucky, after witnessing a soldier shoot two other dudes ahead of him in line to use the (at-the-time) very innovative porta-potties the Union army was in the process of perfecting. The shooter suffered from explosive diarrhea brought on either by dysentary or Opium withdrawal. He was shown mercy and only given 11 years Roxk chopping in leavenworth.



FYI -- Bald Beaver Creek got its name not because the local beaver population had very little fur, but the chicks who went swimming/bathing in the creek witnessed their pubes falling off and floating away .... needless to say this place made Porn History for, as the Civil War introduced en masse the Camera, this battle spawned the first edition of "Barely Legal" porn pictures.
