How many women have to be raped for it to be criminal in your eyes?

One. Just as I think the Confederate rapes against their own women were crimes. But you said there were thousands of rapes and I'm not seeing thousands, I'm seeing 350, which isn't high considering hundreds of thousands of soldiers over 4 years.

FYI, Don't Shoot That Boy! Abraham Lincoln and Military Justice is about the compassion extended to Union soldiers condemned to death, but spared by Lincoln. A "biased" author certainly wouldn't attempt to portray Lincoln in a positve light would he?

They have to be truthful some of the time.

But I guess to you everyone is biased - primarily because you don't like the outcome. A team of researchers, and even a Chief Justice of the state of Georgia are simply liars?

His story doesn't add up. People don't survive hangings unless those who were hanging him weren't really trying to kill him.

And it's your position that all war crimes are justified if it supresses the enemy, that attempted murder, rape and robbery are not crimes? And you think I'm delusional - ROTFL!

Not at all. I'm trying to get you to support your numbers. You said thousands by Sherman's men alone but all you've documented is 350 for all armies of the whole war. Huge difference.

Yankee education short on reading comprehension? As I cited earlier, of the more than 5000 Confederate courts-martial, Lowry et al found 0 for rape. What do you want him to do - invent them?

But I've shown there was a dispute over how to charge the rapists, and that many Confederates were executed fore rape by their own people. So just because there are no court martials doesn't mean there was no rapists, and it looks like there was a lot of them raping their own women instead of fighting the federals.

I said thay didn't happen????? And that the documents were fake?????? Do you see pink elephants too?

So you accept that Confederates did rape their own women or do you still want to live in fantasy-land? And by the way, you're showing how deceptive and revisionist you are by implying that the Confederates never raped. Typical of neoconfederates because the truth isn't on their side.

How many women have been raped during the past 2000 years? Guesses don't count. You still don't understand do you? You yourself prove that MORE cases can be found than what are documented, yet refuse to extend that yankee brutalities.

His story doesn't add up. People don't survive hangings unless those who were hanging him weren't really trying to kill him.

So if someone fires a gun at you and misses, they weren't really trying to kill you? If that person stabs you 20 ties, and yet you survive, they did not intend to kill you? ROTF!
