Jim Webb actually said...

"The Civil War sesquicentennial is a time to reflect and commemorate the bloodiest conflict this country has ever seen."

"It is important that all Americans remain aware of the many sacrifices made by soldiers and civilians on both sides."

"We wish to commend Senator Jim Webb and Senator Mark Warner for their outstanding leadership to help preserve the unprotected hallowed ground on the battlefields in the Petersburg area."

"I think so much of it comes from the improvised explosive devices, where people are inside vehicles and you have this echoing impact that a regular blast, in other wars, did not really experience."
