"Wanton" violence was improper, but ultimately, the judge of the degree of violence necessary can only be the belligerent.

Wanton violence is wrong. Then why would your boy Sherman pillage, loot and destroy the South to the extent that, by his own acknowledgement, 75% of the destruction was wasteful and resulted in no significant military advantage.

Wanton looting and destruction was the order of the day in Sherman's army.

By the way, very happy to hear that you're okay after all the bad weather down there lately.

Eglin evac'ed Tuesday; probably underwater today I suppose!
