Is it any different today???????
“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 journalists/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 in 1863.

Robert E. Lee was a brilliant man, far ahead of his time. It is ashamed he is not more recognized in this country for the great man he was, but the victors write the history books, and Lee followed his heart to defend his beloved Virginia. How great would we be if we had not fought each other? I am and always will be, a son of the South.
