Probably so damn bored they were glad to go fight the war. :-P
But seriously, they may well have saved the damn Union, given that it was the extreme flank that the 20th Maine was defending. And Chamberlain was a serious bad ass. Later in the war he was giving a deathbed promotion to Brigadier General, but then didn't die! After the war, he was extremely active in all types of veterans reunions, and later served as governor of Maine and President of a college there. Bates, maybe?
