Over the decades I've watched any number of movies and documentaries about the Civil War. Love it. The recent Blood and Fury is not as good as other offerings, but it is still pretty good.

What stands out in all of them is the human slaughter. I shot at my adversaries and they at me from 200 or more yards; most times I couldn't see them and they couldn't see me. Thus, I have my doubts that I would have the courage to stand almost face to face with the enemy and fire at him and let him fire at me as they did in the Civil War.

Those Board members with military especially, chime in.
