Charging Casualty
How many casualties were a result of Pickett's Charge?
I was looking on Wikipedia, and I know that Wikipedia is known for its false information, but I was reading about Pickett's Charge and it said the casualties for Pickett's Charge were 6,555.
I don't think that's right b/c Pickett is famous for this quote: "General Lee....I have no division."
If Pickett's division had 12,500 soldiers in it, then wouldn't he have had around 12,500 casualties?
You have to first deal with the size of the units during the war. Ideally a Company would be made up of a hundred men. Ten companies plus staff officers and NCOs make a regiment. A Regiment would also be divided into two Battalions. A Brigade would be three to six regiments. A Division would be made of two to six brigades. Corps would then be two to four.
From brigade upwards Confederate units tended to have more regiments, brigades, etc. but not necessarily more men (in fact it would have been rare to have more men). For example, the average Union division would be made of three or four brigades while the average Confederate division would be four to six brigades.
With this in mind, 10,000 to 15,000 men was not one division. Pickett's Division was only a third of the entire assualt. Pender's Division led by Issac Tremble and Heth's Division Led by J. Johston Pettigrew (Heth and Pender had been injured and were unable to lead), along with two brigade's from Anderson's Division, made up the rest of the men of the charge. If we say there were12,500 men involved (keep in mind Pickett's was the only fresh division, the others had already seen plenty of fighting during the battle before July 3rd), then Picket would have had to have at least four thousand men involved in the assualt. We know he had three infantry brigades under his command, all of which were involved in the assault. This means he had a small Division, or one about the size of a Union division. If even half of his division was lost in the assault, he'd loose his entire division. One and a half brigades is not a division.

| | Casualty Insurance $66.91 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Casualty insurance is a problematically defined term loosely used to describe an area of insurance not particularly or directly concerned with life insurance, health insurance, or property insurance. It is sometimes equated to liability insurance, and is mainly used to describe the liability coverage of an individual or organizations for negligent acts or omissions. However, the elastic term has also been used to describe property insurance for aviation insurance, boiler and machinery insurance, and glass and crime insurance. It may include marine insurance for shipwrecks or losses at sea or fidelity and surety insurance. It may also include earthquake, political risk insurance, terrorism insurance, fidelity and surety bonds.

Insurance double charging my account?
5 months ago I was involved in a vehicle accident. One month after my accident my insurance started to take an additional $40. Now the problem is that I have two bank accounts. One account is set solely for monthly/recurring payments and the other is my personal account which is only for my personal use .
The Insurance company is taking money out of both accounts when I have not authorize them to take any $$ from my personal account. They are taking the monthly amount out of one account and taking $40 out of my 2nd account. I have called my Insurance and they tell me that the only account they are taking $$ from is my original account with them and have no Idea who is charging my other account. In my monthly account they appear as Infinity INS. and on my 2nd account as Infinity Prop & Cas (Property $ Casualty)
Is this a normal practice for Insurance Companies to double charge or add policy holders to a different Insurance policy to people who were at fault?
Your insurance company would have no way of even knowing you HAVE a second account unless you've told them. Have you asked your bank about this?

The priorities should be those that were laid down in 2001:
1. Secure the major towns
2. Put in place a working Government
3. Train and equip the Afghan Army to take on the Taliban
4. Get out.
It worked well up to 2006 – UK losses 5 KIA, the conflict described as "the forgotten war", and John Reid stating "UK troops could be home by 2009 without another shot being fired"
There needs to a return to those original priorities based on securing ground gained and getting the Afghan Army trained and equipped. Digressing from those has caused the situation now seen in Afghanistan.
