GAG Confederate Irish Brigade commander: bawling eyes out "This isnt right! Those Union Irishmen are our brothers. Did they learn nothing from the English?

IRL Confederate Irish Brigade commander (based on both eyewitness testimony and his own journal): "Hey, those are Meaghr’s brigade! FUCK'EM UP!!!"
