The history of our country is full of the sacrifices and efforts of men like the Mass 54th, like the men and women who pushed West on the Oregon Trail, like the immigrants who, like the song says, "started with nothing and worked hard all of their lives". Are we going to allow a covey of traitors like TACO and his cronies to steal it from under us?
The general in this scene (Brigadier General George Crockett Strong) was only 30 years old when he was KIA during the subsequent assaults on Fort Wagner following the events of this movie.
When I was in the army, we had a platoon leader who told us that "the command can predict 80% of our own losses and we have to accept that we won't be in the 20% that come out of there."
General George Strong was only 30 years old at the time of the attack on Fort Wagner. Unfortunately, he was also killed in this battle. But at 30, he was already a general. Imagine what he would have become if he had survived.
Do you even admit these people that you are bombing are Americans too?
What did the navy hit for those day?

couldn’t remember what regiment the zouaves was called in the background
In real life, the axis of attack had the ocean on the advancing unit's right (not on the left as depicted in the movie). Good movie though.
That plan didn't age well😂
Zoaves!
