Trump is wholly motivated by whatever makes him feel good. Sticking it to IT Obama makes him feel good. He seeks those good feels by undoing whatever Obama did as he discovers it, unless somebody can convince him that doing so would cause him immediate bad feels.

He has the motivation and intelligence of a toddler. And judging by his backside, the continence of one, too.

washington won, lee lost

neither washington or lee's tactics are taught at west point. there is little value of teaching line infantry tactics. maybe as part of some comparative history course

i also dont know what shaka or ramses 2 have to do with this, iirc shaka built his empire largely through diplomacy. idk anything about ramses but i doubt he rebelled against some larger government

My favorite heart warming story is how the "prussian blue" girls from like 2003 ended up growing up to realize they were horrible and renounced all the nazi stuff and just became pro weed advocates instead.

There is literally no difference between Washington and Lee.

Both were men

Both served in a military

Both were literally Alexander the Great

Both were the same nameless immortal vampire manipulating humanity to entertain themselves

No. Difference.

It's true that both men rebelled against the ruling government. That's probably why there's not monuments to Washington all over London, Manchester, and Liverpool.

My greatest concern right now is that it's only going to take one left wing radical type to freak out and open fire or or down the wrong building or something and the narrative will immediately shift back to the "both sides" crap. I think it's a distinct possibility that someone just fed up to here and really frustrated with all this recent poo poo could cross a serious line.

Obviously, I hope I am mistaken.

Had to read this for an upper division Civil War history class. Professor sucked butts, but the book was good poo poo. Be forewarned though, it's 700+ pages, but there's a LOT of detail.

Get Shelby Foote's trilogy.

It is super detailed, especially when it comes to describing battles. But he really captures nearly the entire scope of the war.

Also, he was the most entertaining dude in Ken Burns' Civil War.
