A great tactical commander inflicts a large body count and executes a specific battle with great efficiency. He lures his opponent into an untenable situation in which they are slaughtered. He inflicts loss of life to the tune of 50,000 men in a single campaign while suffering a relatively low casualty count within his own ranks.

Hey Professor Cacasodo , I asked for some specifc examples and you provide a skewed and poorly drawn definition. Whatsa matter saputo, can't you provide an example of Granny Lee's tactical greatness? How about the Seven Days Battles in early 1862? [lol].

From your 348: Hey Stugots..Granny Lee sucked as a tactical commander ok? You want to tell me why you think I'm wrong [and hopefully provide some specific examples] fine, but stop acting like you possess some superior intellect, when all you really are is just another neo-confederate Fessacchione whose opinion smells like a baby's used diaper. Capisci?

I replied in 350: "from http://italian.about.com/library/slang: 'fessacchione/a n. a f*****g idiot; (lit.): big idiot.'"

I missed the Stugots which means 'testicles', or in the vernacular, 'numb-n**s'.

From your 396: "Hey Professor Cacasodo, I asked for some specifc examples and you provide a skewed and poorly drawn definition. Whatsa matter saputo, can't you provide an example of Granny Lee's tactical greatness?"

from http://italian.about.com/library/slang: 'cacasodo m./f. inv. an arrogant person, someone who thinks his/her s**t doesn't stink; (lit.): one who takes a hard s**t (from the verb cacare, meaning "to s**t" and the adjective sodo, meaning "tough" or "hard."

And 'saputo/a n. a know-it-all, a smart-a**"

Please continue, it demonstrates your IQ and hate quotient thoroughly. I'm curoius though, would you call Jim Robinson "chief", Tonto", or "fessacchione"?

Are you just saying (in your cute, little, insulting, childish way) that the number of battles in which Grant engaged Lee constituting 50,000 dead federals was too many?

Were there simply too many occurrances of Grant retiring to his tent and sobbing uncontrollably to pick one out?

Or, more likely, you're just out looking for further excuses to toss out your little Sopranoisms. Non, are you impressed? I always assume that's why little mac does it.
