Just look at the name, and you know it was hell on earth. During the battle of Shiloh, Bloody Pond became a name that would forever be attached to the brutal reality of war. It was reported that the shallow pond became the last source of water for wounded soldiers of both sides. The area and the pond, was littered with dead soldiers and horses. Coming to get a last drink of water, soldiers died there among their fellow Americans. They died drinking from the shallow water of a pond stained with the blood of fellow Americans. The pond turned red from the blood of the fallen soldiers!
That is the reality of war. War should never be taken lightly, and should never be a war of choice. Iraq is a war of choice, and we need to get our people out of that CIVIL WAR before they have to taste the bitter waters of their own Bloody Pond! We had our own Civil War! TROOPS HOME NOW!

What was that about history and doomed...?
Yikes, scary that you would choose that one. Wasn't the pond named something like miller's before? It was not far from another bloody fight too. Yikes!!!!!! Much better than your jokes. ;)
Holy shit! I get it now. You chose it because of the futile thing that is war. DUH!!!!! Hence the drinking of our own blood, right?
Holy jumping catfish! A pond of blood. Just think, we could have made a different choice on Iraq. It didn't have to be that way. We were screwed into this one.
Rebel Reaper,
I have visited Shiloh, and it gives you a weird feeling. All the war hawks need to go to Shiloh park and drink from that pond. I doubt they are smart enough to get anything out of it, but maybe they are dumb enough to drown. I rarely think those kind of thoughts, but this time I did and I said it.
Bloody Pond = Iraqi Quicksand
