Can anyone imagine this pipsqueak leading men into battle???

Watch it. Some little guys have done quite well leading men into battle.



Gen. Phil Sheridan - Height, 5'4"

Of course, General Sheridan would NEVER have worn a pink tie...

Heck, I've known plenty of short men I'd follow into battle. But I've never known a single little man I'd follow.

Ahhh-another Civil War aficionado!! Pipsqueak-"one who is small AND insignificant"!! I do believe that our dear,little Daschle fits the "insignificant"-to a "T".

I think Napoleon is a more apt example (not that I am a big fan of the French, you understand, but objectively speaking he was a pretty good general). Sheridan's record, to my understanding, is something of a mixed bag, especially when compared to the tactical prowess of his opponents. His record on civilians (due to the Grant scorched earth policy) is interesting to say the least.

All that aside, I think in Daschle's case his body remains too large for his character, which is petty and small.
Personally, I would be interested to see what role Daschle would play on the ground. Perhaps we could strap him to the front of a tank to protect that expensive metal frame.
