"Volunteers are different in nature from existing enlistees WITHIN the regular army, capitan. But that was not your original post's claim. You tried to pass of volunteers in the army as state and territorial militiamen."

A specious claim based on your misinterpretation. I merely compared professional soldiers who were posted in the West, to the non-professional soldiers who replaced them. And at the battles of Valverde and Glorieta Pass, the Union regular army soldiers were in the minority.

These are simple concepts, and are not contestable, but by then densest of intellects. So you remain wrong on every point you have attempted to make, and your Clintonian attempts at parsing the issue makes you appear even more ridiculous.

You said "1st Colorado Volunteer Militia" when it was not a militia and when that is not the unit's real name, which is the 1st Colorado Volunteer Infantry. There is nothing "specious" about noting that fact, capitan.

That you physically altered the name of the unit to make it appear as if they were a militia indicates dishonesty. In your case it is part of a long pattern of dishonesty from fabricated court cases to extraneous material passed off as decisions to fake battles that never happened and, just like all of your previous fibs, you adamantly refuse to own up to the mistake even after getting caught. You're a filthy liar and it's showing yet again.
