"The City it must be destroyed and Jeff Davis and Cabinet killed."
Feb. 1864
The failed Dahlgren raid on the capital of the Confederacy had been conceived by Union General Kilpatrick–a commander so wanting in skill and luck his men nicknamed him "Kill-Cavalry." Nothing went as planned and Kilpatrick fought a half-hearted skirmish against Confederate militia. With that, "Kill-Cavalry" fled, abandoning Dahlgren and his men to their fate.
Most of Dahlgren's men would ultimately reach Union lines, but in a freezing rain, the colonel and about 100 men were separated from the rest. On the night of March 2, the Confederates ambushed them and the first volley killed the young colonel.
A 13-year-old member of the Confederate home guard searched the body for valuables and found what would go down in history as the Dahlgren Papers–two folded documents and a pocket notebook. The lad turned his find over to his commander, Capt. Edward Halbach. At daylight on March 3, Halbach looked over the papers and was appalled. "We hope to release the prisoners from Belle Island first & having seen them fairly started we will cross the James River into Richmond, destroying the bridges after us & exhorting the released prisoners to destroy and burn the hateful City & do not allow the Rebel Leader Davis and his traitorous crew to escape."
Until this point, though terribly bloody, the War had been a gentleman's affair, fought by gentlemen's rules, with flags of truce and gallant messages between opposing commanders. The Dahlgren papers seemed a wholesale violation. Richmond newspapers screamed the news of the North's barbarity: "The Last Raid of the Infernals!"
After the war Edwin Stanton (Lincoln’s Sec. of War) acquired the original papers and apparently destroyed them to avoid embarrassment to the government.
Does this sound oh so familiar!? With prisoners released so much this past year, and with all the "peaceful but FIERY protests".

...but could you have made the grade back then, Blazor?
Gotta remember, there were no MacDonald's, Wal-Mart, Ford Trucks.
Life was rought back then.
Heck, you didn't even have a choice of the kinda gun they gave you.
And it was just 1 gun, eh?
You and all the other gun lovers are livin' in the lap of luxury with yer 5 guns or more

...you too, Lokmeer.
YOu've got 10 or 20 x more guns than the typical WWII vet had at his disposal.
Actor Charleton Heston who was the one time head of the NRA said he had 1 postol when he was in the service duing WWII.
That's all your US guv gave him.
I think he said he keptt it under his bed every night after he left the service until the day he died.
That's all they gave them in those days. That was Heston's Big souvenir from that War.
I'm sure it was probably the same for the Canadian military too.
You guys live in this lalaland for which a typical WWII veteran wuld gape at in utter amazement.
It's really a joke for you, an ordinary citizen, to possess 20 weapons or more when your own nation's greatest military heroes had 1 or 2 at the most when they served.
Why do you need to stock up on all that ammo...Lokmeer!?

These military vets would laught at you man.
I met one of your veterans at an event who did several tours in Afghanistan and Iraq when he was in Vancouver.
Sergeant Weikart. He called himself 'Sarge' for short.
He now does motivational speaking for a living.
He's a spit and shine kinda guy. Of Germant descent too.
Tough.. I'm tellin you, that's what a real man is all about.
I don't think that guy ever bragged or brandished a weapon or how many guns he has.
He probably saw or knew many friends who died in combat too.
That guy would put yer ass in shape and show you how ta fire a weapon properly, Lokmeer!

Much like in the Civil War, the Scots fought with us, and Robert E Lee said they were the best race of soldiers.
