“They were on a foraging mission as part of the Union Army in Richmond County.”

Foraging mission is short for stealing from the locals. Its anyones guess who shot the thieves. I wonder how much silverware was recovered before they were laid to rest?

Wow. That's a pretty vile assumption to throw on to dead American servicemen. I suppose you were in support of John Murtha regarding the Haditha Marines too?

Oh p!ss off. They are dead American soldiers, and you can do nothing better than call them thieves? Extremely tasteless.

Sheesh. I hope Central Va. doesn't show up.

I guess they should've just had their MRE's flown in.

Idiot.

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.

Given the general devastation of the area, any silver or other valuables would be unlikely.

Foraging often meant survival for marching armies. And it was not limited to one side or one army. A reading of Southern citizens complaining about the locust swarm known as Bragg's Confederate army shows that both sides were adapt at the foraging art.
