Yeah, good ole Forrest, gives the green light beforehand to take no prisoners, then comes blazing in at the end to act like the good cop after giving his men plenty of time to do as they wanted. Like I said, he pulled this stunt more than once. It's funny Forrest is linked to so many horrendous acts (KKK, Fort Pillow) but his defenders say it really wasn't the real Forrest. He's a master at doing horrible things, then putting all the blame on his compatriots. KKK lynching blacks and Republicans, no not Forrest!, his men burning union soldiers to death, no not Forrest!
I am not defending him nor anyone else. Just cite your sources. If he did wrong, i will not defend that.
