One time I was traveling from Frederick MD to Gettysburg. I wasnt even driving I was the passenger and I thought imagine marching all the way here. It sucks to be in a car much less walking it.

I always think how utterly miserable it must have been back then. Hiking all over in the cold and wet, eating whatever gruel was available, getting infections and illness. Using outhouses in the cold. No antibiotics, painkillers, or heat.
We are so soft these days.

Say goodbye to your wife. Hike for weeks to months. Tired, weak, sick. Show up to battlefield and get stabbed by a rusty bayonet.
Wounded for days then die in agony.

Or have a cannonball take off a leg, and continuing to have to March after the battle

So am I crazy or is the soldier on the left black with an Afro? He looks like Clarence Williams III?
