re: #4 Dark_Falcon

That battle was made deadlier by the presence of numerous WWI veterans on both sides. Perhaps Blair Mountain should be seen with some of the same light as the fighting Germany and Italy that involved large numbers of veterans of the First World War (and that also helped ensure that there would be a Second World War). Even if Blair Mountain was less political, it was a brutal series of engagements between two sides stiffened by battle-hardened men.

And that’s very much the situation the threepers have wet dreams about, updated with Iraq vets.
