Title: On this day in history...
Post by: Razgovory on May 23, 2011, 03:08:56 AM
Today marks the anniversary of the Grand Review of the Armies of the Union.

Here's a nifty little musical piece: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bnv4UJ9eWyM&feature=related

I  like the idea that bar fights were breaking out during arguments about which Union Army was superior.

I really liked the medley.  It gives the impression of different units marching by in parade with each piece of music.

I like that Sherman had looted cattle with his army.

QuoteUnlike Meade's army, which had more military precision, Sherman's Georgia force was trailed by a vast crowd of people who had accompanied the army up from Savannah—freed blacks, laborers, adventurers, scavengers, etc. At the very end was a vast herd of cattle and other livestock that had been taken from Carolina farms.

Welcome.  Be prepared for the rude welcome you will get as a newcomer (e.g. "Who the fuck are you?" for the first 20 or so posts), but that's just a rite of passage.  No insult generally intended.

1.  No exceptions come to mind.  I am sure I will regret not thinking of whatever horrible thing you had in mind, though.

2.  Straight.  What is Fake Gay?

In 1987 West German Mathias Rust landed his Cessna in Red Square in Moscow. 

I remember that happening, though I had forgotten about the incident until I saw in on the Wikipedia home page.
