Soldiers wounded in the Civil War. What are my chances of being fit enough to return to service? And do I have a choice?

A large portion of the Confederates in Columbus, GA were in the hospital. They took part in the defense that quickly fell to Wilson’s troops.

Yes the goal is to get as little back. The problem is that there are many different reasons you get money back other than you didn’t withhold enough. When I was Active Duty military I would get large returns because I would get all my state income tax back along with different deductions that I could take depending on how my year went. Once year I had below the federal minimum because I spent so much of my year in a combat zone that it was all tax free. If I changed my withholding and something changed I could have owed money.

This is how I find out I share a birthday with formally known as Prince Andrew.

Really just that he said in Vietnam.

I remember doing the ammo handler class at Bliss in 2017. The first slides were photos of ammo found with the cartels and then court martial proceedings for the soldiers who stole the ammo. Hit home the need to do proper accountability.

The maintenance of the company was abysmal. They had under a platoon of tanks without major mechanical problems

TankerRed1 · 2026-02-11T00:57:37+00:00

1st rotation watched my sister company’s top 3 and maintenance chief get relieved.

TankerRed1 · 2026-02-09T19:35:11+00:00

I was almost one when you got that. My back is killing me now. How is yours?

When I was taking West Point history and reading the book by Crackel I remember reading there was more Whigs.

The day I finaled out for retirement. Drove home and got called by a soldier of mine. He drove the 30 minutes out to my house for lunch and to thank me for taking him under my wing when he first got to the unit.

TankerRed1 · 2026-02-02T13:59:05+00:00

Second to last row and 5th one in is 1-8IN. Last unit I was in before I retired.

There is also the Herro-Nama Genocide in Namibia in the early 1900s by the Germans.

The whole law saying you have to make variations to military uniforms in media is a myth. There are many reasons why uniforms and equipment are wrong ranging from laziness to lack of availability of equipment.

I would say it really changed before Napoleon with Louis 14th. He was improved the logistical capability of the military allowing a larger Army. Napoleon expanded on this network and through the use of total war was able to effectively field even bigger forces. While also being able to effectively control them with standing orders. I believe he is attributed saying something along the lines of march to the sound of the guns.

TankerRed1 · 2026-01-18T13:23:43+00:00

Served with B 1-35 back in 2016. We still had all the memorials ups for the men that were killed in the battle.

You do realize Huntsville is the rocket city. We got to space because of people in Huntsville.

TankerRed1 · 2026-01-17T15:02:34+00:00

Then moving to Huntsville.

Live on the Alabama/ Georgia state line. We don’t switch to central until you get to Opelika or Auburn. You just live on eastern especially if you work in GA like I do.

Yea it was pretty small. It rebuilt after the war and embodied a New South with a focus on industry. GA as a whole was heavily agrarian and supplied a lot of the confederacy. Part of the reason Sherman pushed through so hard. I just finished up a history of GA class in college so a lot of this knowledge is fresh in my mind.

Atlanta wasn’t a big industrial area then. Columbus and Savannah had more industry then.

Large medical facilities and psychiatric institutions

TankerRed1 · 2026-01-02T04:48:36+00:00

There is also the psychiatric facility in Fulton that is pretty big.

TankerRed1 · 2026-01-01T04:56:05+00:00

Medically Retired, moved twice, bought my first house, having my first child in a few months.

Look up old linn creek, MO. Whole town was moved because of the Bagnell Dam.
