Great quote by Gen. Robert E. Lee

submitted by email:

"It appears we have appointed our worst generals to command forces, and our most gifted and brilliant to edit newspapers! In fact, I discovered by reading newspapers that these editor/geniuses plainly saw all my strategic defects from the start, yet failed to inform me until it was too late.

Accordingly, I'm readily willing to yield my command to these obviously superior intellects, and I'll, in turn, do my best for the Cause by writing editorials - after the fact."

Robert E. Lee, 1863

Great quote.
 
Considering the forces alined against him Lee was a great general, but even more important he had the respect of his men as well as that of his enemies. Virginian first and to the end.
 
Hey! How about post some more stuff?
