Another attempt to infuse a thread with Nathon Forrest. Stop it!

That's precisely why we attempt such often misplaced humor. If it ain't fun; nobody stays around for long. I've been here about six years; Ole for a looong time.

Larry said it best, besides his accusations of my log harboring ants, if it wasn't fun to be here, nobody would be here. We have a mix of deadly serious and the light enough heart to remain remarkably civil. It is as it ought to be. Screaming children are disallowed.

One of the books I'm currently reading is "The Warrior Generals Combat Leadership in the Civil War". By Thomas B. Buell. Seems to be a great book which covers the heavy hitters (north and South) military careers. Has anyone read this book; and if so, is it accurate.
