“Foraging was a fact of life for armies for thousands of years. Still is, in certain cases.
Most historically literate people know that.
That wouldn’t include you, I take it.”

So in your literate opinion, burning farms, consuming the livestock, destroying seed corn and looting all valuables was considered “accepted military foraging behavior” at the time? I will have to consult a real American like George Washington on that one. Hold on a moment.
