On War was first published in 1832, at a time when muskets and cavalry were a dominating presence on the battlefield.

Also, I was already in a vehicle leaving DC when the riots began to take place, so I had no part in any "insurrection", nor did I have any knowledge of anything of the sort happening. All names have been changed!
