Humor In Uniform
ON MY FIRST day as an MP, my partner and I were approaching an intersection when the car in front of us went flying through a red light. As I started to pursue the car, my partner reached over and turned on our lights and siren. Instinctively, I slowed down and pulled over.
When my partner asked what in hell I was doing, I told him I was stopping for the emergency vehicle. "That's us, you idiot!" he shouted. "Now go get that car!" ...

Our hero the Cherokee pilot, not about to let the insult go by, came back with: "I made it out of MD80 parts. Another landing like that and I'll have enough parts for another one."...

Civil War Humor Grant’s Cypher Wheel <em>Among the possessions of Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth, was purportedly
found a cypher wheel or decoding device used to send and receive secret messages.
Conspiracy theorists point to Gen. Grant's alledged possession of such a device
to prove a link between the War Department and the President's murder. How these
men, one a Presidential assassin, and the other a future president, came into
possession of such devices is the subject of the following essay. </em>...

The recent publication of such books as _Black Confederates and Afro-Yankees
in Civil
War Virginia_ by Ervin Jordan and _Black Southerners In Gray_ by Richard Rollins

in the Confederate armies is much less documented. While some insist that there
were NO African-American Confederates; others point to accounts of hundreds
or thousands of black men in gray uniforms. This story examines one possibility.

The Burning of Columbia SC
On February 17, 1865, fire swept the capital city of Columbia, S.C. Southerners
have long blamed Union Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman and his army of 'bummers'
for the conflagration. Others have traced the origin of the blaze to Confederate
cavalry burning cotton and supplies to prevent capture by the Union forces.
At long last the real truth has emerged as explained in the following article.
