Many of the older men fighting are Civil War veterans. I met one today, and we talked about our experiences over coffee - something reserved only for the most special of occassions.

We talked about how different this war is, if you can even call it that. Both sides are barely surviving from the fallout of the Great Plague, and what few men we do have engage in these small skirmishes across the country. Its not like the Civil War... at least that was predictable - you get your orders, you march towards the enemy, and you fight.

In this war, we can barely tell who the enemy is. I mean, we obviously need to crush the U.C., but as far as those we fight on the field, they're just ordinary citizens...
