LOL, if Saint Lee had the bodies, he would have gladly traded them too. Its called war.

If anything, the CW proved the Southern General preferred maneuver over headlong assault. In general, not always, Gettysburg day three and the Battle of Franklin being major exceptions. Hood would have fit into the Yankee Army quite nicely.

Actually, Lee himself said that manuever was the Rebels’ only choice. If the South had the warm bodies needed, they would have thrown them into assaults with abandon.

Add to them the Seven Days battles, Shiloh, Chickamauga, Stones River, etc., etc.
