Very flippant answer, but easily met.
Tell ya what, N-S baby, we'll arrange to change places. We'll arrange for a couple million Southerners to occupy the upper Midwest, with extra-special attention to "Land o' Lincoln" -- we'll burn Springfield and about half of Chicago to the ground (only the "dual-use" buildings and "enemy infrastructure" like the big buildings in downtown -- they ought to be able to see the upper floors of the Sears Tower burning all the way to Traverse City), and make a point of humiliating anyone wearing even a pair of military or police trousers. We'll rough up your womenfolk while you watch, post handbills calling them "women of the town, plying their avocations", and import an alien population to batten on you and serve as your political masters. We'll impress on you that you have lost, that you are no longer citizens or Americans but occupied meat and drink for new masters.
Then we'll get back to you and see if you're still feeling like a smartass.
And if I did, and if my side had started the war in the first place, then I would expect your reaction to be much the same as mine is. You know, we flattened Japan and Germany to a level never dreamed of in the south and less than 60 years later you almost never hear anyone in either country dwelling on that. But the south, which suffered less by comparison than almost any other rebellious section in any other country in recorded history, still complains and whines about the war 140 years later. Grow up.
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!! Oh my GOD! What a perfect retort! :)
Way to put it LG! :)
Bump. Kudos sir.

No, you got this wrong.
That decree was issued in response to the women of the town throwing urine and feces (no toilets back then) from the upper floors onto passing soldiers. The commander issued this decree in response, saying that any woman who did that, would be treated thusly. You post imply's that All women were treated so, which is an un-gentelemanly slur for which you should apologize. Since you are obviously such a southern genteleman, I'm, sure you will.
