Thes five brave soldiers died in the service of their country.

Your post should be an embarrassment to you. Show some class and ask that it be pulled.

“Thes five brave soldiers died in the service of their country.”

Where did you get the idea that they were brave? All that is known is they were foraging and got killed. As I have pointed out, foraging meant stealing from the locals. It would seem they may have encountered some true combatants rather than civilians. Because a newspaper wants to write a sympathetic article, history is to be forgotten?

You have to wonder what kind of mind responds to a story like this by applauding the deaths of 5 American soldiers 145 years ago.

Pathetic.
