I’ll say it again. U.S. Grant was the Union’s version of Gen. Hood.
I can see the parallel you make, the major difference being Grant had the resources and manpower to overcome those mistakes inherent with aggressiveness, whereas Gen. Hood didn’t.
I am not enough of a military scholar to project how Grant would have performed had he been poorly supplied, short on men, and on the defensive all the time, but I deem it likely he wouldn’t have lasted the war either.
How many battles did General Hood win? How many armies did General Hood capture?
How many Yankee Generals surrendered their armies to General Hood?
