Cancer Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Old news, I'm afraid. I'm also afraid that a certain Australian expatriate bears no small part of the blame as. well. I am in that portion of the population designated for elimination, though, so clearly I am biased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 yes, biased. it seems that America is headed for another civil war, except this time i doubt it will be civil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 The irony is that we are in the midst of the sesquicentennial of the Civil War ... the 150th anniversary of Chancellorsville is in about a month, and Gettysburg and Vicksburg this July.

Cancer Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Eeewww. not familiar with David Bowie's song Rebel Rebel? Oh, I remember the song from when it was initially popular (I wasn't much of a Bowie fan at the time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hmm, no, the American Civil War was not even remotely close to a tie. (And yes, I know the movie/scene/character you're quoting.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 A bit of a Curb-Stomp Battle there, towards the end. Apropos ties, what was that thing with the rails and trees that Sherman's boys did during the March To The Sea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Actually, what that army did in the March to the Sea through Georgia was mild compared to what it did through South Carolina after it reached the sea and turned north. But late in the war, the Union armies on multiple occasions engaged in randomly wrecking places when they took a city they did not intent to occupy permanently. The Confederacy had rather limited industrial capacity (and even less means of replacing what it lost), and the blockade kept manufactured goods out. Confederate forces never captured a major northern industrial site (though several times they captured Federal arsenals, depots, etc.) so they never had the opportunity to retaliate.

Cancer Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 If ya gotta ask, you'll never understand.... In other news, it has already been a rather strange day. I had to blow the dust off my technical German, as I found myself looking up a paper from the 1959 Zeitschrift für Astrophysik. Hadn't had to do that in years, maybe decades. Whee!
