The only thing I have against Lee - a great, viral leader of the old school - is that he managed to get through West Point without a single demerit. In this regard, I prefer Custer.
Did not Custer graduate at the bottom of his class?
I do like the Errol Flynn movie, “The Died With Their Boots On”, great film.
A documented story is of Custer just before Appomattox C.H. negotiations. He rode up (btw Custer had blue....velvet... custom made uniforms with real gold thread epaulets— quite a dandy so to speak) to General Longstreet and demanded the surrender of the Army of N. Virginia. Longstreet told him to get lost or else be cut down where he stood.
Custer had it coming, really. Just another mis-appointed brat with a big mouth and arrogance that got him, and most of his men killed.
