[HARDCORE]

There has never been a war, within the brief history of mankind, where at least one individual has not been vilified or defiled – and such has always been the fate of any faction in war, and in this case, Union General Benjamin Butler is truly the goat!

Outside of his less that attractive appearance, “The Butcher of New Orleans” (as he was called) was little different than any other military man in time of conflict, having both his good side and his bad. Who, after all, has not been touched or altered by the ferocity and the utter carnage of warfare?

And as for General Benjamin Butler Himself maybe it was more his physical appearance than anything else, that garnered for him his ghastly reputation, and only history itself (which is not always factual) will relate the truth of the matter about Butler?

Or maybe, he even deserved the dastardly handle of “Beast Butler?” But whatever it was that generated such hatred and disgust for the man, the fact remains, that any war is a filthy and bloody business and one in which someone is and forever will be vilified and characterized (right or wrong) as ‘A Beast’ much as General Benjamin Butler was during (and after) “The American Civil War! No man, after all, ever gallops into war, astride a white charger and no man ever exits one - Unchanged and Totally Clean!! “And that is just the way that it is!!”
