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?
