Is surprising we won that war, what with all the old guys serving.  By the way, I think Andrew Jackson served in the Revolutionary War and their are some old photos of him.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Thanks, Jake.  I think Americans are used to thinking of Civil war, World war Two, and Vietnam vets, but somehow AWI vets never got much press.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

I object to the term "veteran" for these guys.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

This is great, thanks Jacob! The stories of their lives from the 1700s through the 1800s is fascinating stuff to read.

110 years old? :yeahright:

I suppose it's possible, but that seems extremely unlikely.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
