Gods and Generals

A movie of the American Civil War. Gods and Generals is a 2003 film based on the novel, Gods and Generals, by Jeffrey Shaara. It is considered a prequel to the 1993 film Gettysburg, which was based on The Killer Angels, a novel by Michael Shaara, Jeff Shaara's father.

The film stars Jeff Daniels as Lieutenant Colonel Joshua Chamberlain and Robert Duvall as Robert E. Lee. While many of the actors from Gettysburg reprised their roles for this film, Stephen Lang is one of a few to play a different character: George Pickett in Gettysburg and Stonewall Jackson in Gods and Generals. Martin Sheen, the original Lee, had conflicts due to the shooting schedule of The West Wing, and was replaced by Duvall.

It was directed by Ronald F. Maxwell, who had also previously directed Gettysburg in 1993. After the box office underperformance of Gettysburg, Maxwell was unable to get the prequel greenlit until media mogul Ted Turner provided the entire $60 million budget.

The film prominently features the Battles of First Bull Run, Fredericksburg, and Chancellorsville. It shows Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain's life before the war, and also focuses on the personal life of Stonewall Jackson.

Gods and Generals is a Sequel to "Gettysburg" movie. Stephen Lang is from the both Movies.
Gettysburg: Major Gen. George Pickett
Gods and Generals: Lt. Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson.

generals

Awesome 3D stratergy game by EA games. It is set in the 2010's. Two Superpowers, USA and China are playable factions along with GLA (Global Liberation Army). Like with all stratergy games, each faction has its special units and abillities. USA rely on powerful units, strategy and technology to defeat their opponents. China use splash weapons and huge numbers to overwhelm their opponents. the GLA are a Middle Eastern alliance that use stealth, suprise, terrorist tactics and require little resources for construction/military. Each faction also has unique Superweapons. USA has a particle cannon structure firing a beam of energy that the player can train anywhere on the map resulting in instant unit kill and heavy damage to buildings. China uses a nuclear missile that causes heavy damage to buildings and leaves toxic fallout behind. The GLA Scud Launcher rains anthrax filled scud missiles down upon an opponent. Each faction has a campaign to complete and players can simply skirmish. :)

My GLA suicide bombers and terrorist will kill your huge army of tanks in generals

Modern Major General

A modern Major General.

A Modern Major General:

I am the very model of a modern Major-General,
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news,
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.

I'm very good at integral and differential calculus;
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's;
I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox,
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus,
In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous;
I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies,
I know the croaking chorus from the Frogs of Aristophanes!
Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore,
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore.

Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform,
And tell you ev'ry detail of Caractacus's uniform:
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin",
When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin,
When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at,
And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat",
When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery,
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery--
In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy,
You'll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee.

For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury,
Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century;
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

General Public

This is the open court of opinion where the more notoriety or popularity you gain the more judgmental accusations you will have to endure. Gain that notoriety by succeeding financially and you will become the target of "THE INCREDIBLE ACCUSATION INDUSTRY" This opinionated part of society regards themselves as having the military rank of a "GENERAL" and the wisdom of GOD. Their main objective is to attack any private industry with money. Once you enlist and go public you will be instructed who to hate and why you should hate them. This group makes up the majority and they will attack anyone and everyone who wishes to remain private. The accusation will be that you are not doing or paying what the majority perceives as your fair share. This is the opinion even if you are giving everything that you agreed to give. Meeting your obligations will never be enough because responsibility does not mean the same thing to them as it does to you. They will call you irresponsible and deny that it is a not guilty verdict.

The General Public called me irresponsible so I thanked them for setting me free of the blame. I would not wish to face the punishment for being responsible for every accusation they make. The largest occupational block in the USA was Drivers, but now it is unqualified whistleblowers who established the religious cult of the car at the federal level. Try competing with that cult financially without a Licence to drive.
