I spotted this article found by Dr Postman on the Ageod forum and thought I'd share it with you. It's a really good read about the campaign in the American South-West during the Civil War. If you play Civil War 2 it makes it obvious just how important supply considerations actually were.

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

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
