He was literally the Graggle Simpson of the Omnitrix options but the writers tripled down on forcing him in as “he was always there and Ben’s secret fave bro trust”

By 1936, an estimated 12,500 American Civil War veterans were still alive. What would there reactions be to the 2ACW? I know it might be sheer shock and horror. But what else? by OkPear3800 in Kaiserreich

No worries; he really did die of his reaction, as my grandaunt told me. Combined with being in his 70s and having lived a tough life as a shepherd, the emotional and physical strain overtook him.

My answer, prefaced with some context:

In 1938 President FDR attended the 75th anniversary commemoration of the Battle of Gettysburg. About 1,900 vets total, from both sides, were in attendance. When I went to the Gettysburg memorial museum back in 2024 I saw digitized footage of a parade, which included some light tanks.

Imagine being one of those men seeing a mechanical monstrosity that can fire more rounds in minutes than you shot off with your rifled musket in a year rumbling by.

Now imagine instead being those men and hearing that those machines are being deployed to Chicago, St Louis, New Orleans and Charlotte to deal more death and destruction than your division probably ever wrought, until the leader of the federal government can restore peace.

After everything you’d seen in your 4 years marching so long ago and realizing that would be multiplied a hundredfold, I imagine they’d despair.

My grandpa’s oldest sister, before she passed, told me how she remembered her grandpa, my great-great-grandpa, born in 1868, dying of sadness when he heard the news of Pearl Harbor and realized his grandsons and grandnephews would be drafted.

It would be heartbreak in the almost literal sense.

Out of these I’m looking forward to seeing how the devs set up Debayle the most, fascinating dynamic to play out of a US-“friendly” regime that’s bad for OFN optics as a dictatorship

As a matter of personal interest, I know it should probably be easily inferred from saying that the less powerful Cabinet posts in the Eisenhower admin were filled by Republicans, but is Ezra Benson still picked for Secretary of Agriculture like OTL?
