For anyone who doesn't normally check out Homer's Harper's Weekly posts, do it today.

There is a wonderful description of Lincoln and events just following the Union debacle at Chancellorsville.

Among others is a quote from a Union 2nd Cavalry Maj. Charles J. Whiting which sounds remarkably like our own DiogenesLamp & others here.
And then Lincoln's response.
