David, David, David. Your partisan-slip is showing. But then, when did it ever not?
But do you begrudge others theirs?
Seems most of the atrocities on your side were sins of omission, i.e., incompetence.
But I will say this to all you reble-wannables--I think any Union commander who permitted documantable atrocities under his watch should have been hoisted.
And that's more than I ever heard from the gray ranks, whose Bill Anderson and Quantrill CSV camps are honored members of the fold, are they not?
Did anyone ever say that Anderson and Quantrill should have been shot by their own authorities for atrocities against their enemies? What were they, proto-japs or SS..you take the choice.
No, Shelby, et al turned a blind eye and deaf ear to their shenanniagans beacuse it suited their purpoises.
One of these days, I would like to hear you-all admit it.
