I spotted this article on grognard.com, and thoroughly enjoyed reading it. With the author's permission, here is the link:

The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

On a good day, our legislature has the prestige of a drunk urinating on a wall at 4am and getting most of it on his shoe. On a good day  ::) Steelgrave

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

You're welcome Bawb :)

Jeff Berry is a great writer IMO. He did his research very well, and gave this a article lot of thought well beyond a straight recount of the battle.  O0
