Experiencing Interruptions?

Retreat

It is the middle of the American Civil War. Soldiers on both sides have seen things that will haunt them for the rest of their days. However, two Union soldiers are more concerned with what is waiting for them back home. Together by chance in the same regiment, they find themselves clashing with more than just their common enemy.
