You mean like the time we didn't try to help in Somalia????? Or maybe we were there...maybe Americans got killed their...that was Africa, right? Remember, we weren't in Somalia to stop a genocide. We were there to make sure the food was distributed outside of the "warlord" channels. I was referring to the Tutsis and Hutsus. (I'm sure I misspelled those.) In 1860 the U.S. Army contained approximately 20,000 "regular" soldiers. Many of the officers were from the south and resigned from the U.S. army to join the CSA. This was a "standing" army. Yes, I should have said that the US had a small corp of regulars but that the bulk of the Army were the militia. The idea was that a core group and the command structure of the military would always be ready and that the body would be raised as required. I must admit that we've reached the limit of my knowledge in this area.
