Are you NUTS.

Is that what you got out of an expression of terrible barbarism which is a thousand times worse than the savagery of WAR.

Thanks, Repeal

“Is that what you got out of an expression of terrible barbarism which is a thousand times worse than the savagery of WAR.”

Whatever you do don’t read Ulysses S Grant’s personal memoirs, especially when he was down south and Burnside was up in Western Virginia and tens of thousands of horses were starving because the railroad could not deliver the feed.

“It is well that war is so terrible, or we should grow too fond of it.”— Robert E. Lee, at Fredericksburg.

Also don’t read books about World War I in France where the artillery barrages were frequent and massive in scale that horses were being euthanized by the thousands with bullets because they were so horribly maimed and wounded.
