Robert E Lee ordered Pickett's Charge. People don’t talk about this often enough.

Kids in Pennsylvania and in military academy learn about Pickett's Charge, a colossal failure

It was one of many bedtime stories The Colonel told my brothers and me every night. Or, other Battles & Events from Ancient to Modern Military History. But those regarding the Great State of North Carolina & The War of Southern Independence, they were memorised early, LOL!

Oh come on. He was the best general in his time. Would have been the unions top general if he had stayed with the north during the entire war.

Hindsight is 20/20. Napoleon only lost 8 battles out of ~65. Still made a couple massive fuck-ups. It's like the feigned retreat tactic William the Bastard employed. William just got lucky the English fell for it. England changed on one tactic

Lee was a genius with the exception that he was over aggressive. Like Custer. He figured he could take anyone with minimum forces and a plan. Not that day.

Lee victories were mostly idiotic Union generals sending their troops to attack an elevated entrenched position and suffering massive casualties and being forced to retreat...so what does Lee do? Sends his troops to attack an elevated entrenched position—Lee was over rated
