Whatever

Which one is he?

 

I ain't falling for that one again!

 

Wait, not like that!

 

I seriously did not mean to make it sounds like you pervs made it out to be

 

Financially speaking, is there a better bang for the buck than a Fleshlight when you consider the cost of marriage?

 

Again?!?!?

 

Literally anything is cheaper than getting married
Add in kids and a fucking McLaren is cheaper LoL

 

or a miami blue 991.2.......... we think alike

 

Seriously though, it's a defining period in our history.
I'd be tempted to call it our national epic, our Iliad...
... if not for the Revolution, the World Wars, and victory in the long twilight struggle of the Cold War.
It's a proud history.

Have any of you read the Memoirs of General Ulysses S. Grant?
It might be the best written, most honest of all military memoirs.

Grant was unfairly labeled a butcher.
By rights, his strategy for 1864 should have ended the war that year.
His subordinates failed him at every turn, despite having largely superior forces.
General Sigel's Valley campaign failed, the attack up the James River failed.
Grant himself said that General Butler on the James:
... "allowed himself to be penned in the Bermuda Hundred Peninsula as in a bottle strongly corked".

Grant with the Army of the Potomac repeatedly tried to out maneuver Lee with his Army of Northern Virginia.
Attrition was not his strategy, but was imposed on him by Lee.
Every movement he made was met by Confederates in rapidly dug field entrenchments.
Thereby Lee, on the tactical defensive, could inflict hugely disproportionate casualties.
This was the one real option open to Lee... hope that the North would grow discouraged by the bloodletting.

The wonder is that the North fought it through.
Grant rightly points out that the North fought for the Union.
Hard for some to understand these days perhaps, but it meant everything to those men.
A divided country would simply lead to more war at a future time.
The territory is by nature one economic unit.
A united country, on the other hand, would bestride the world as a colossus.

Grant paid tribute to the South, saying they fought with unexampled courage, honor and determination.
The South fought to the very end.
Southerners thought they could never be conquered, and that would have been true if their opponents had not been fellow Americans.
Conquered they were, and occupied.
There was no other way.

 

I watched a doc on it, the hand to hand combat and fighting that took place in the railroad cut at Gettysburg was absolutely a gore show. I can't imagine having been there. Those guys were some savages.

US history is fascinating to be frank. OK we went from poundtown to US history in a few posts. I call that range.

 

TL : DR

I grew up with constant speeches about the War of Northern Aggression so I 100% check out as soon as I hear anything about it these days
My eyes glaze over and my brain just shuts off

The South was never conquered [ask any Southerner] - tho the influx of fucking yankees these days might have me thinkin' different

 

I'm going to take a bow because it took a while, but I finally don't argue with people on the internet anymore. LOL

I see something I disagree with immensely and yawn.

I highly recommend this strategy.

Your energy levels will be higher throughout the day.
