Lincoln was roundly reviled almost throughout the Civil War ,p> Wrong. He was villified until the day he died. Even after his death, his REPUBLICAN allies were thrilled that he was out of their way.

“Reviled” means hated.

Yeah, I don’t blame him one bit. 15 months was a very long time, I can’t imagine a 19-mo deployment....

And villified means reviled Lincoln got it from both sides. Apart from his immediate circle, and outside the postal services and the military, there were no Lincoln men. Lincoln won because he controlled appointments to both institutions, which in deed were the only federal agencies of size. They and the customs service. Lincoln was the loneliest man in Washington. The amazing thing is how accessible he was to the public, and he called his office hours his “daily bath.”[in public opinion] It was easier for an ordinary person to talk to Lincoln than it is for me to talk to the mayor of a large city. But he did not become “popular” until he became a martyr to the cause.

Hopefully they are “feet-wet” by now and we’ll get the call
soon,,,

9 hrs. difference as I remember,,,

This “hold-over” must have just started and only applies
to some units,,,

His first tour was with the 2nd.ACR(03-04 in sader city)(sp)
and they came straight home then,,,

Our friend’s kid came home two weeks ago(Combat Eng.)
again no wait...

This too shall pass...

"butt handed to him"

I'd prefer to see him made a fool of...in his own classroom...by one of his students. I knew a number of my leftist college profs who were arch-lefties like this prof and who absolutely could not be convinced of anything that contradicted their leftist view of the world. Even if the truth was shoved in their faces.

Yours is a good question, I think. Seems more than strange that those who are serving our country are not allowed to go home!!

IMO, it ain’t right at all!

Glad his wife could go see him. All who serve our country should have the RIGHT to see their spouses and children.
