Mike, that is all correct. She has been obsessively reading about the battles..she saw the battlefield, and unlike other people, she came home marked forever. we saw Shiloh and were rendered speechless. Gatlinburg? I've seen Gettysburg and Appomattox, the federal cemetery. Forgive me for not remembering, I had a brain tumor, and memory centers were injured.
To the point, I believe that it was renos command that had men assigned to ram rod stuck cartridges out and reload, then hand them back. One of the battles at Gettysburg had men reloading and passing them back, they had a huge surplus of rifles. Bob was apparently one of the worst screw ups in history.
