jmacusa: "To put it succinctly F**k Nathan Bedford Forrest and the horse he rode in on."

As an aside, I can guarantee you that the horse he rode in on was not the same horse he rode out on. He had had 29 horses shot from under him, and killed or seriously wounded at least thirty enemy soldiers in hand-to-hand combat. And as Shelby Foote put it, "I guess you could say he came out once horse ahead".
