[This week marks the 150th anniversary of the Late Great Unpleasantness.
Here is a cute story about a Civil War soldier]
A soldier had lost his bayonet and whittled one from wood so he could stand
inspection. He was hoping not to be discovered until the regiment had gone
into battle where he could pick up one from a dead soldier.
But at morning inspection, an officer asked to see his bayonet. The soldier
stated “Sir, I promised my father I would never unsheathe my bayonet unless
I intended to kill with it.”
The Officer insisted he hand over the bayonet. Taking it out, the soldier
looked skyward and declared, “May the Lord change this bayonet to wood for
breaking my vow.”
