>>106379276right so he's a 10 year old general officer in the Confederate army at the end of the war in 1865, is he? he literally achieves a senior rank at a younger age than the next youngest general officer in the Confederate army who was also nominated in 1865 and was 13 years older than Uncle Beauregard would have been at that time?
if he's an officer he has to be at least in his 20s and have significant fighting experience or nobody would listen to him, let alone promote him
that makes him 140ish, not 128 - and you might want to look at some actuarial tables to figure out how likely those extra 8 years are (they are so spectacularly unlikely that the yearly chance of death can be rounded out to 100% for all ages over 110)
and you might want to read around the subject of very old age some more - Jean Calment, the only confirmed 120+, may in fact have been Jean Calment's 99 year old daughter at the time of her death, which pushes the upper limit back into the 110s
either way Beauregard needs to have lived an additional 20 to 30 years beyond human extremes, and to have done so from a starting point well before any of the oldest confirmed (or even disputed but documented) individuals - he wouldn't just have survived the war, he'd have survived pre-vaccination, pre-public health (like effective sewers, seriously), pre-antibiotics
now, if the mystery were about how he came to be 140 years old at the time of his death that would be a good cartoon, especially if in true scooby doo style it turned out he'd been faking it (but was a very old man who died)
instead it's some shit about gay ghosts
