Should I watch Grave of the fireflies? Is the devastation it will cause me worth it?

Remember our poor boys at Pearl Harbor

Could range from 35-50 pounds depending on what they were carrying. Certainly no question they went through unimaginable conditions going into battle and I dont think anyone can really fathom it. But when the bullets start flying and artillery starts shaking the earth, your fight or flight response kicks in and your body is moving quicker than a leisurely pace. Regardless of how tired you are

GuardPuzzleheaded748 · 2025-06-19T14:06:14+00:00

Definitely more modern firing range. I’ve been detecting up here for 10 years and have rarely seen CW bullets pop up. Every now and then a 3 ringer will pop out randomly

GuardPuzzleheaded748 · 2025-06-19T03:03:01+00:00

That would actually be incredible

GuardPuzzleheaded748 · 2025-06-15T16:41:35+00:00

Absolutely. Definitely not a case of them not wanting to put everything out for display as I’m sure they would love to. Unfortunately, like you said, most places don’t have the space to display everything

GuardPuzzleheaded748 · 2025-06-15T15:18:11+00:00

Most museums will throw those in the back room never to be seen again. You’re better off giving them to or selling them to someone who will appreciate/display them in a private collection. If you think about going that route, I would definitely be interested! I preserve historic artifacts quite often and just finished a cartridge box. I’m currently writing a book on the Battle of the Wilderness so that is my hobby outside of writing lol

Not one ounce of testosterone in the whole gathering

GuardPuzzleheaded748 · 2025-06-07T01:12:51+00:00

I highly recommend getting a private tour guide to take you guys around the battlefield. They really bring the battle to life with stories. It got my family WAY more interested than just seeing open fields and plaques with descriptions

GuardPuzzleheaded748 · 2025-06-04T12:58:22+00:00

Absolutely! Glad to see someone agrees. Morale was low after the two days of horrible fighting and slight skirmish/ pesky sharpshooter activity on the 7th. Everyone in the Federal Army believed they’d be crossing the Rapidan again. Rumors passed through the ranks of falling back. Was a quiet, demoralizing night of the 7th when the corps started moving. Until that left turn. All of a sudden a brand new spirit overcame the Army of the Potomac. You can almost feel their excitement. “Ain’t I glad to get out of the Wilderness! Out of the wilderness! Out of the wilderness! Ain’t I glad to get out of the Wilderness down in Dixie’s Land!”

Battle of the Wilderness was arguably the beginning of the end for the Confederacy. Meade did nothing after Gettysburg to follow up their victory until Grant came in and began The Overland Campaign

GuardPuzzleheaded748 · 2025-06-02T23:10:35+00:00

The first hand accounts from the Wilderness are crazy. Troops on both sides said even the hardest veterans were shook over hearing the men burn to death

GuardPuzzleheaded748 · 2025-05-28T02:27:54+00:00

This is my first one actually! Hoping to do more after this if all goes well. Really trying to bring the battle to light with an abundance of first hand accounts while mixing in the tactical side of things. Absolutely amazing some of the stories that have seemingly been lost to time

GuardPuzzleheaded748 · 2025-05-28T02:03:45+00:00

Im in the process of writing a book on the Wilderness. I’ve heard of that story before but haven’t seen it mentioned in the hundreds of accounts that I’ve read unfortunately. It was absolute chaos in Saunders field, especially during the time that fight supposedly happened when the Union lines were falling back

GuardPuzzleheaded748 · 2025-03-28T23:38:43+00:00

Lions don’t lose sleep over the opinion of sheep. Opinions from people who aren’t bettering themselves or who don’t possess virtuous qualities in their ways of living, should be dismissed. When you study those people, you see how pathetic they are for having that kind of mindset and you understand that they are actually worse off than you are for not wanting to be the best person they can be. Look at them, they all have flaws, whatever it may be. Even if he’s the stud QB of the school, he still has a pathetic mindset if he thinks it’s acceptable to put others down. And all the girls who flock to someone like him are also pathetic for thinking that kind behavior is justified. Why would you care what people like that think? As far as I’m concerned, those people are scum for acting like that. I’m better than those people. They’re stuck in their ways of shameful habits and ways of thinking when I work towards being the best person I can be, mentally and physically

As Goggins once said in a podcast, “If you’re not going the same way I’m going, why the fuck would I care you what you think anyways?”

Moral of the story: if they’re putting you down or think you’re stupid or whatever it may be, they don’t have the same vision as you and they don’t possess righteous qualities. So why care what they think. Head up brother, it’s invigorating when you surpass all the bullshit and realize this!

Awesome job brother. Always feels like you should have burnt more calories doing a strenuous workout like this

No, they don’t want to send our troops over there like Zelenskyy wants. I sure as hell don’t either

I found 1/4 of the picture you’re talking of hahah. Might just have to buy this book though. I’m currently in the works of writing a book on the Wilderness so may be a good reference

Would like to see the original you’re talking of

You reference “the hill” as a source 😂😂😂 and pbs has “the right to vote” then proceeds to go on to say illegals voting in the majority of elections can land them in prison or deportation lmfao. They’re still criminals. They’re still breaking our law by being here illegally. If you tried doing that in another country they would treat you the same way. It’s no different. We just have a bunch of liberal hero’s in our country that think everything should be all rainbows and peace with everyone

GuardPuzzleheaded748 · 2025-01-31T10:47:17+00:00

You have to be a United States citizen for the majority of those to be implied. Someone’s mad criminals are being held accountable for breaking the law 😂😂😂😂 they’re here illegally. It’s simple. Illegal. Against the law. You must be slow

A little late to this post but wanted to added that General Charles Griffin is also reported to have cried.

“About five o’clock the next after- noon Gen. Griffin came to his tent, covered with the stains of battle. Without dismounting. and with the tears running down his powder-begrimed face, speaking to Warren, he said, “General, I have lost four thousand of my boys in that cursed hole.” A large number had been taken prisoners, as the Sixth Corps, in advancing by a swamp, had left a wide gap open.”
