War of full of cruelties. You've read about "foraging" to supply an army with food, which was done for millennia. Nice polite word. Do you know what it meant?

War of full of cruelties. You've read about "foraging" to supply an army with food, which was done for millennia. Nice polite word. Do you know what it meant? It meant sending out soldiers to find farmers and force them to hand over their food, and next year's seed counts as food in this context. Pity the farmer's wife or daughter who hadn't hid well enough. Pity the farmer too. War really is despicable.
