War Update

So the war continues to rage.  I thought it was four nights, but was informed that we are in for another night tomorrow.

Things I've learned....

youngest soldier in the war....12 years old

number of soldiers under 15 years old....150,000
that song "Battle Hymn of the Republic" was about....The Civil War (well, that sheds some light on the lyrics)
number of Americans killed in the Civil War...618,000
when blacks were allowed to fight, they made up 1% of the population, but 10% of the Union forces
