Rat Mass down 10%

Somehow, we’ve forgotten that the VMI cadets at New Market and the Citadel/Arsenal (“SCMA” at the time) cadets at Tulifinny Creek, two battles in which ENTIRE corps of cadets participated, were fighting on the SAME side. If it’s a “sibling” rivalry, then that means we’re “siblings” – brothers and now sisters (RahVaMil’s gonna’ like that one :thumb:!). So, let’s please keep it that way. Instead of fighting each other, we should be attacking the Federals at West Point! Generals “Stonewall” Jackson and Evander Law would certainly have shown us the way.

The losing side, thank goodness.

We have all been "Federals" since 1865.

Stonewall was a West Pointer.
 
Gee, I guess my tongue wasn't in my cheek quite far enough.

Guess not.

As a VMI alum, I don't like the celebration of the institution's Confederate history. Joking or not, in my opinion it isn't good for the school in the 21st Century.

You, Bruno and anyone else are free to feel otherwise, of course. I know I'm probably alone here, but I don't care.

You are not alone - waging war against the USA was treasonous conduct and many should have hanged, including Lee (and Jackson had he lived).
 
No sweat. I got the straight skinny on the numbers. Thanks for the information on Post View!

Bird85- what do you hear on the Ratline so far other than the % of loss? Is your son enjoying RatChallenge?

Gosh Bruno, thanks for asking. :smile: Yes, he does enjoy Rat Challenge. He seems to be doing quite well so far. Grades so far are all "A's", which to me is more important than Rat Bible knowledge, sweat parties, and straining.

You can shut this thread down. btexino answered my question. It veered off course, then lurkers like Sprog and Luigi had to chime in and well......

Put a fork in it, it's done. Thanks again.

You can shut the thread down for all I care. I didn't bring up the Civil War stuff, I just responded to it. It was off-topic before Luigi and I said anything.

I still don't think it's funny.
