Kiss my rebel backside. We're even on the score for all the muskets I talked out of the hands of unspecting police guards at Perryville. That trick won't work on your folks any longer. Of course there is that little problem with you guys knowingly allowing the provost marshal to provide false passes signed by the assistant provost marshal solely for the purpose of arresting unsuspecting persons with bogus passes.

Many accounts were written about officers walking away with the musket of some fresh fish. Other than court martial proceedings, I'm not aware of anything similar to the conspiracy to which you guys followed at the instigation of the provost marshal. Care to shed some light on the legality of your illegality?

Re: Kentucky Military Institute Buckle

The job of veterans is to pass on the abuse they suffered while still fresh fish. Actually, the musket theivery was really the brainchild of your provost marshal. He suggested I do it. He even gave me some tips on who would be the best guys to approach at Perryville. Fast forward one year. Who is the guy who implemented my arrest? Look no farther than the provost marshal who personally gave me a bogus pass. He directed y'all check my pass for the incorrect signature. So, the devil isn't me. He's one of y'all. Seems to me that something needs to be done to the provost marshal and that way everyone's score is even.

Just sayin'.

FYI, I didn't go after anyone at Mill Springs. Y'all knew better than to let me receive a musket from one of your guys. That's why I didn't try. It might have looked like I was trying some guys, but I wasn't. However, nothing prevented you from going after fresh fish in the companies who assisted you in performing provost duties at Mill Springs. I have no plans to go after anyone at Andersburg or Chickamauga. That's for others to do.

On a different note, are any of you who are going to Andersburg intending to do the pre-event march? Let me know.
