And you think Lee with the same supplies as Grant would not have kept the fight going? You are right though that it is good that Lee did not turn the war into a guerrilla war. Lee didnt go for that kind of fight. It was against his code of conduct.

Yeah I agree. Bring back Michael J. Fox! Btw, if you havent seen his last episode of Spin City, its one of those things you should find and watch.

That wasnt so much Lee's fault as it was the South's lack of manpower and supply. Given the same supplies as Grant the war wouldve been much different. But such is not the case as we all know.

Both being calculated risks; invading into hostile territory is never easy. Even Napoleon learned that lesson. As Spitfrnd said though, Gettysburg was botched by his subordinates.

For starters the casualty numbers are skewed because a good portion of the battles in the West were considerably smaller. I believe Grant even commented upon his arrival in the East about the horrific losses Eastern armies could sustain and then do it again the next day. 2nd - Lee was aware...

Based on what Ive read and watched I certainly wouldnt argue that they did their jobs admirably. But I sorta wonder if a large portion if not the majority of the junior officer corps was just like them. But they are of course famous because of Stephen Ambrose. And as long as Easy Company's...

Being in Savannah at the moment Ill throw Nathaniel Greene into the mix. He did pretty well against the world's greatest army.

Its Brazil. They hadnt been challenged by anybody the entire competition. Heck, if theyre challenged at all during a non-world cup match they probably thank the soccer gods that they have something to do. For 45 minutes we scared the living crap out of them. And in that second 45 minutes Brazil...

Im proud of Landon, Tim, Clint, and the boys. They did a phenomenal job and I am excited to see what they do a year from now. Bring on the world!

If you ever have to move youd be sorry you got rid of them. Thats always been my thinking,

Sounds tasty :D

Right now Ive just got a chest filled to the brim and the overflow is going in odd openings that I find throughout the house. I always thought Id run out of display space first, nope it was the storage space.

Thats some armor youve got there Rob. Looks pretty darn good.

I havent read a whole lot about the war itself. Ive been through all of Joe Ellis' books (my favorite being American Spinx: Thomas Jefferson) and David McCulliffe's John Adams (another of my favorites).

I second that Ron. But I would only buy Chief Osceola riding Renegade! :D

Brad, American Creation?

No worries Rob. If it wasnt for world hunger, beauty pagents around the world would have to rethink their formats. What do you want to solve in the world? Ummm... World accessorising?

My goodness Rob thats a lot of boxes. You couldve ended world hunger if you really wanted to with all that it took to get those.

Just finished A Soldier's Story (which I thought was fantastic as far as memoirs go.) Now Ill be picking up Joe Ellis' American Creation.

One of my top 5 favorite movie scenes ever is Jack in A Few Good Men when he loses it.
