Heck, everytime an officer shows up we enlisted men have to start shooting at each other instead of trading coffee for tobacco and sippin' whiskey and playin' cards like civilized folks should. Privates do the work and sargents run the army.

__________________ My dear mother:- I have come safely through two more terrible engagements with the enemy, that at South Mountain and the great battle of yesterday (Antietam). Our splendid regiment is almost destroyed. We have had nearly 400 men killed and wounded in the battles. Seven of our officers were shot and three killed in yesterday's battle and nearly 150 men killed and wounded. All from less than 300 engaged. The men have stood like iron....Maj.

Just checked my ranking, I'm moving up on corporal (again, as I held that exalted rank on the old board.) Better put to the quartermaster for my stripe, just to be ready.
