Great warriors fight on the losing side from time to time.
NBF was one of the best. His tactics are still taught.

When he met with the union general to discuss terms of surrender Forrest instructed his mule teams pulling the artillery to circle around a hill a few hundred yards behind them making the Union general believe NBF’s forces were much greater.

Are we supposed to love him on this thread or hate him? I’m confused.I have no idea. I never thought much about him until I saw a FReeper with his name, and still don't.
The leftys are so insane that anything and everything upsets them, makes them crazy and I LOVE IT.
