I don’t know how many of you clicked the link on the
118th Infantry, but they are an old unit of the Confederate States Army. They were part of the Army of Northern Virginia, commanded by Longstreet in several famous Rebel victories. They invaded the North under Robert E. Lee, and fought at Gettysburg.
I find it deeply amusing that they are now occupying D.C. I don’t think anyone has made the connection, but there is definitely tension arising from the fact that all these Southern states are the ones contributing troops to this little adventure.
