A documentary about the beginning of the civil war is on now on PBS. Looks real good.

To be fair and balanced, don't we need a southern opinion? [:D]
I'm sorry blackie, I know you're gonna read this! [;)]
He told of fighting during the day and trading coffee for tobacco at night with the rebels they were fighting. It told of the battle packs they carried, what was in them. Many different uses for the bayonet.
How they were trained. It told of their capture and escape from the rebel forces. Basically most of the time this mans regiment were getting their * whooped by the rebels! It was diferent then most as it gave the perspective of the men who were actually doing the fighting and not that of some reporter observing.
I enjoyed it, and I have no idea how Salzo got the idea that this video was produced by the government! [?][?]

I think Salzo might have thought the documentary to be unconstitutional.[:D][:D][:D]
