"The war in the East is won!" | Diary entry, 3rd July 1941

While never saying so explicitly, one man found vindication in the series of disasters suffered by rebel forces in the West during the winter of 1862. P. G. T. Beauregard, the French-speaking Creole and “hero” of Fort Sumter and Bull Run (Manassas), arrived in theater in March 1862.

🎶Tronald Dump told the nation
"Have no fear of escalation
I am trying everyone to please
Though it isn't really war
We're sending fifty thousand more
To help save Iran from the Iranies."🎶

🎶So here I sit in this bloody desert
And I'm wondering 'bout Pete Hegseth
And I know that Donny loves me so
Yet how sadly I remember
Way back yonder in November
He told me that I'd never have to go.🎶

At least Pea Ridge, AR was Franz Sigel's best moment.

🎶I got a letter from Donny, hey
it said this is your lucky day
It's time to put your khaki trousers on
Though it may seem very queer,
we've got no jobs to give you here
So we are sending you to Iran🎶

#OTD in 1862 the Battle of Pea Ridge ends with the rout of Confederate general Earl Van Dorn’s army by Gen. Samuel Curtis’ Army of the Southwest, following a two day struggle on the Ozark Plateau in NW Arkansas. The strategic U.S. victory ends rebel hopes of “liberating” Missouri from U.S. control.

🎶I jumped off the landing ship
To fight all the Khomeinis here
I cussed until the captain called me down
Never mind how hard the sun is burning
Think of all the ground we're gaining
Just don't ask why we're all here down.🎶

The current Tyrump administration makes the PRH under Saint-Just and the Mesan Alignment look like the 1st signatories of the Geneva Convention in #Honorverse

🎶Es zittern die morschen Knochen
Der Welt vor dem großem Krieg,
Wir haben den Schrecken gebrochen,
Für uns war's ein großer Sieg.

Wir werden weiter marschieren
Wenn alles in Scherben fällt,
Denn heute da hört uns Trumpland
Und morgen die ganze Welt.🎶 </sarcasm>
