better than the movie was, but Jeff Daniels was great in that movie....

As was Tom Berenger as Longstreet, arguing against the center charge and stressing that the rules of war have changed and the reality of modern warfare favored the defender. As I recall, his fellow officers said after the war that they didn't remember Longstreet having those reservations during the actual battle.

Depends on who you ask...

in all the books and accounts of the battles save other officers, he did have the reservations, but being a soldier needed to follow orders....
