But he would KEEP attacking, that’s what I’m saying. Even if he lost, he’d keep punching, keep probing, keep wearing his opponents down. I didn’t say he was some 1860s equivalent of an early-WWII Soviet general sending his men frontally across minefields with their arms linked. He had the resources so that he never needed to let up and pause, he could keep the pressure on until it became unsustainable for Lee to hold on. Grant was skilled at not just using mass as a bludgeon, but using it effectively (with a few exceptions).
