when you have essentially unlimited numbers of men,a HUGE industrial/manufacturing infrastructure, unlimited money & supplies AND are willing to win AT ANY PRICE (including closing your eyes to TENS of THOUSANDS of WAR CRIMES against UNarmed civilians), you don't have to be much of a general to win a war against a small, poor, under-supplied military force, no matter how motivated, brave or well-led.

The gist of that farrago of southron blather, near as I can tell, is the admission that Lee and the south did not care enough about their cause to do what it took to win. Right?

well, if "do what it took to win" means COMMITTING TENS of THOUSANDS of WAR CRIMES against UNarmed civilians & POWS, the answer is NO!

obviously, you feel that the commission of WAR CRIMES is A-OK.
