And what is condemning only one side for actions that both sides engaged in. Again, it isn't the fact that civilians suffered and towns were burned that bothers you, it's the fact that southern civilians suffered and southern towns burned. To the contrary, as any such incident violates the just waging of a war. My concern however is with persons such as yourself who attempt to dismiss the far more extensive atrocities of one side by claiming "both sides did it." Such an argument simply doesn't fly.

But both sides did do it, and to date I haven't seen any condemnation from you of the confederate forces for actions no different than those you condemn Sherman's men for. Your pious bleatings about violations of the rules of war lose their effect when they are as one-sided as yours are.
