I'm relatively new here, but from what I've seen so far I'm not sure your use of the past tense is accurate.

That's ok though, because I'm not a military type gonad anymore.

I've given you the impression that I'm an obedient authoritarian gonad with a lower tolerance for the taking of human life in this thread?

Wow, I guess I need to cut back on the subtext...

Did you not know this? Sure, there's some controversy over fire ratios, but there is that old story of the guy wandering around Gettysburg and finding most of the rifles still loaded.

Did you quote the wrong post or something? I've read this over several times and it doesn't make any sense to me.

Damn, I was in for 3 years, 1 mo, and 13 days and never fired a shot at another human, did I miss something.

That only makes sense. Most of the rifles found would probably have been from the casualties of Pickett's Charge. They'd have been killed by artillery before they'd gotten into rifle range, so of course the rifles would be loaded. Even if the rifles had been fired, the soldiers would have then reloaded them.

Nah, but good try.

Actually, when using volley fire you can not hear your weapon fire, and in the violence of a few hundred black powder muckets going off many times you can't distiguish as to whether your weaopn fired at all.

Add to that the fear of death and the confusion combat and in many cases soldiers, not realizing their weapon had not discharged, reloaded again over a misfire.

What is the federal statute though?

Most specifically here the federal appropriations bills saying that there shall be a recruiting station located at x.

What?? You expect soldiers to go running around a battlefield with unloaded weapons?
