I had to look him up. Yikes!

“After the war Forrest opposed Reconstruction policies and federal occupation by serving as the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan and commander of the Grand Dragons of the Realms.”

I was talking about combat commanders in the heat of combat. George S. Patton had some reprehensible opinions about Jews and Blacks as well. It did not detract from his combat skills which is what we were talking about. Also read Sherman’s opinions about Blacks, Catholics and Jews as well. (Phil Sheridan “The only good Indian I ever met was dead” was another one).
