Cindy's happy again, but at what cost?

This story brings out my charitable side. I would like to assume the burden of storing these pieces free of charge to all parties involved. I would be willing to provide safe storage of these pieces indefinitely. If need be I would even cover the financial cost, of having the proper documentation drawn up, to tranfer ownership to me. In his advanced years the owner shouldn’t have to deal with the strain of fighting the government. My charitable act would also save the German tax payers money.

@General:

And another side note civilians lose wars not the American military.

Agreed, terrible policy has been the bane of the US fighting man for over half a century. (or longer even)

We give the people all the battle wins, and spineless leadership and ineptitude takes those victories and squanders them.

From one trooper to another “Brave Rifles!” and thank you for your service!

Seeing Hooker was never going to take the offensive, Lee pulled two more Divisions, those of South Carolinian RH Anderson and Georgian Lafayette McLaws from in front of Hooker and led them himself against Sedgwick in conjunction with Jubal Early. It was to be a day of frustration for Lee, as he could not prod McLaws forward and get the 3 division attack going. Sedgwick withdrew over Banks’ Ford when he lost Marye’s Heights to Early.(Early had a great battle.)
This was the cue for Hooker to call the campaign over and he withdrew over US Ford on the 5th. Casualties were high for the four day battle: 13000 for Lee and 17000 for Hooker. Lee’s proportion was too high, considering he only had 60000 to start with.
Lee and the South had bettered an army twice the size of their own and given Virginia breathing space. Lee’s next move, as it had been in 62, after a victory, was to move North.
Gettysburg awaited.
Jackson would never again be Lee’s “right arm”’ as he passed away on the 10th from complications from his amputation.
His last words were: let us cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees.

Good to know. It’s not gay if it’s in the Garage.

I accept your peace frenchman, and your humble surrender.

:P

We are brothers after-all! :D

The correct term for moi is ‘culturalist’.

I meant before you took the 4 year break or whatever…

Jeepers :) I think we can all agree that “ctm” is right. Let’s leave it at that

@TM:

Be nice to Sir Horten! The Komet is a fine looking plane, and I am sure anyone would love to fly one…

Everyone would want to fly a Komet!!??? Yeah, right. Only if they’re planning on committing suicide. :wink:

@TM:

You are just mad that you couldn’t think of something better first.

Yes, why don’t I buy bmbs every turn? I’m sure that’s real inventive. What genius plot do you have in store next, why don’t I build battleships every turn? Oh wait, you already tried that! :P
