After the Wilderness campaign, Lee stopped counting casualties all together. His practice of putting snipers behind his men to stop desertions meant that his losses from “friendly fire” were very high.

You are truly insane.

I agree that Lee should not have placed snipers behind his units to shoot them down.

On the other hand, Lee should not have had his men positioned to shoot down US army soldiers either. That he did, made him guilty of treason. Lee agreed it was treason when he applied for a pardon.
