Is St. Patrick's Day RACIST?

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.

I hope this often considered too political…

I would just like to pay my respects to the fallen - those who gave their lives for or freedoms and or nations ( although I am biased,i think it’s good that America is still around too). I also want to acknowledge our veterans living with the scars from their Service (Caps intended).  Thank you isn’t enough but I’m afraid it will have to do.

It’s been a long time since I played fortress america, but if I remember correctly,
Fortess america can have too much luck involved due to the order of the reinforment cards for America.

If you get a series of poor cards early or a good card too early (like the laser card), this may overcome any strong strategic moves you may have made.

I guess that’s just a built in characteristic of the game.

Or maybe this one…

When i was about 18 i went to Tahoe/Reno area and was thinking to myself “this road is rather narrow and winding and id hate to be caught in the rain out here…” About 30 seconds latter it started to rain. Then my next thought was  “ah this road is going to be slippery not to mention its got lots of turns…” I then decided not to test fate further and slowed down to like 25 miles an hour and after about a minute of driving uber slow the car lost total control and rolled off a cliff that was about 20 feet down on a slow draping and soft slope. I could not believe my luck.

Of course i called a cop and when he should up 15 minutes latter all he did was give me a ticket ( for unsafe driving) and leave after i told him i was ok. my 84 Z-28 Camaro was wasted.

The thing was i really was thinking i had better drive safe and deliberately going at a snails space when the car lost it.

it was weird.

OK.

So the first post of the cartoon was just like “huh?”

The discussion of NEDM and burning cats, turns my stomach.

It reminded me of the two Iraqi workers burned to death by a rocket about 20 yards from my workshop in Iraq.

Not a pretty sight.

Thank G-d! That explains everything. :D
