re: #151 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.

Everyone talks Lee up as some sort of brilliant strategist, but to be perfectly honest, much of his success was owed to the complete incompetence of his opponents. He made some ballsy plays on the field not because they were brilliant, but because he knew (or hoped) his opponent would be too preoccupied with his own plans to take advantage.

Longstreet is underrated but there’s a reason for that. The Lost Causers hated that he became a Republican, Catholic, & critical of Lee in his memoirs.
