I've tried to stay away from the subject even though I spent the last several weeks in the middle of many major battlefields and an area which honors the experience. However, Guy and I hiked in Chancellorville Battleground yesterday. Man, these people think differently than I do. In the midst of all the glorifying of the roll that the brave heroes played all that registered with me was one fact. On one morning 17,500 men died. I'll do the arithmetic for you. That is one man was killed EVERY SECOND for FIVE HOURS.
Doesn't sound to me like something to be honored.
