kek.
You reminded me of a Colonel Mosby story (my grandfather knew him; not so much I'm THAT old it is more so that my fathers started fatherhood a bit late in life)….anyway….
A certain Union colonel had wrongly hanged three of Mosby's partisan combatants.
Our Old Grey Ghost wasn't happy with that.
On the next raid, Mosby captured a dozen men from a Union camp. He questioned them and realized they, too, were under the said Union Colonel.
Mosby asked them if he knew about his men being hanged; they did not.
He explained that three of his men were executed not taken as prisoner.
He told the twelve they are to draw lots, nine will be paroled as prisoners, three will be hanged.
One of the 12 flashed a Masonic distress signal to Mosby's officer who was handing out the straws. This officer rigged (lol) the lot so his masonic man wouldn't get picked.
Mosby saw it.
After the men were hanged and Mosby had written the Colonel to state he better not hang any more of his men or Mosby would hang more; Mosby confronted his officer.
He told his officer if he ever followed some gay masonic shit over his orders again he will hang his own masonic ass right in front of the men.
Okay so who was that Union Colonel?
George Armstrong Custer.
