In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam. It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.

Fucking riveting. I played Quake. Every death was a freaking jump scare. Also no one around me understood what I was doing. Also, neither did I. I did know what it was like to get stuck on a server with some LPB. Bullies is what they were.
