Last in his class? So was George Armstrong Custer. How did that one turn out?

Last in his class? So was George Armstrong Custer. How did that one turn out? .............................. They killed more of their own than the enemy?

From what little I know of Custer, he was not a great thinker but was a fierce warrior.

Douglas MacArthur was number one in his class. Robert E. Lee was second in his.

Well, very badly for Custer, but most only know him for his last action. He was one of the youngest generals in US Army history, being promoted to major general when he was 24. So, for most of his career, he was pretty darn good.

I don’t think I’d want my military history to be linked to either one of them.
