#5 Spomble -

In 2004 I had the privlege of being at the Charleston SC memorial service for the crew of the CSS Hunley. Naturally the place was filled with reenactors, and there were several full companies of CSA troops. Each of them gave the yell upon leaving the cemetery, and all I could think of - standing within a few feet of them when they let go - was that now I knew why grown men quailed in fear upon hearing that sound.
