You fought all the way, Johnny Reb!

My co-worker was telling me he's heading back to the holler this weekend because he hasn't been since Christmas and his grandparents are already on borrowed time. Sounds like there's a lot going on, though. "Sunday is the reenactment of the Civil War. Guess who loses." I was commisserating, since reenactees tend to be much, much more my type than his.

How many generations of losers have we bred now, since 1861? Ah, the Wawuh was such a tragedy.

Odd, because the 1860's soldier was probably a lot less well-fed than today. Unshaven, sure, but not stocky.

Yeah, I'm not sure how all these beefy guys get through the extremely strict casting process.

Sheer brute force, I'd expect. The CSA is not the same as it was 140 years ago.
