Just the mirror image of your being able to state what he would not do if he had been in Sherman's place.

For all pratical purposes he was in Sherman's place when he went into Pennsylvania, you dolt, and the only people that he waged war on were you stinking yankees!!

Lee in PA wasn’t in Sherman’s place. Meade didn’t let Lee disperse his army for a long campaign of widespread destruction.
