Simple truths for their simple minds.

So you're on board with this whole "Army infantry waging war from the Powhatan (in Florida) against shore batteries in Charleston (in SC, if you need reminded) with muskets?

What do you suppose the maximum effective range of a .60 cal smoothbore blackpowder musket is? Were the men to row from Pickens to Sumter to land the supplies? Was this some early form of SEAL training? Oh, that's right... these were Army infantry.

Figures you wouldn't understand this. Perhaps you should google up some lessons in Naval warfare. Here, I'll help.

I take it you're endorsing the pet lunatic. It puts you in good company non-seq...probably somewhere in one of his odd battle formations on the rigging as you desparately try to shoulder a musket while the ship rolls and your foothold slips away from you.
