The Army of Lincoln

April 5, 2023

My boys used to participate in “War on the South” re-enactments – before COVID hysteria and political correctness killed our local battle.  They always wore gray.  In camp I would have discussions with young men that were destined to join the military.  They were proud of their decision.  Their parents were proud of their decision.  I would ask why, as Sons of the South, they wanted to join the Army of Lincoln?  I would point out that Sherman’s unlimited warfare against women, children and old folks is still the order of battle for the US Military.  That crop destruction and forced starvation are still tools in the tool box.  After the smoke from the flames of cognitive dissonance cleared they changed the subject or discovered someplace else they needed to be.
