My all time "ironic last words" favorite is Major General Sedgewick at Spotsylvania, staff officers cautioned Sedgwick not to approach a road where his troop dispositions were disorganized, but he forgot their warnings a few minutes later when he walked over here to untangle a snarl in his line

When his men warned him to take cover, Sedgwick responded by joking, "They couldn’t hit an elephant at that distance."

Just then, a sharpshooter’s bullet crashed into his skull, right below his left eye, killing him instantly.

What, are you gonna shoot me?
