@StephenNover1@Jimfrombaseball Per your observation, Longstreet understood how advances in killing technology—the rifled musket in particular—made Napoleonic tactics obsolete and demanded armies assume the tactical defensive. Lee did not.
@StephenNover1@Jimfrombaseball McWhiney and Jamieson's Attack and Die indicts Lee's offensive obsession: he repeatedly threw outnumbered, underfed armies into frontal assaults, losing 20% of his men and bleeding the Confederacy dry. Malvern Hill and Pickett's Charge weren't bold. They were slaughter.
@StephenNover1@Jimfrombaseball Nolan's Lee Considered strips away the marble man: Lee broke his oath to fight for a slaveholding rebellion, bled the South with reckless offensives, and then got rebranded as a saintly hero by Lost Cause mythmakers. Reputation over reality.
@NHKathySullivan Tragic. And it’s not just them. Constitutionally, the NH AG is a non-partisan position. But Formella has forgotten this and takes money from hyperpartisan extra-legal interest groups to attend Republican AG conferences? Why is he even going?
@BrownCatPatr10t@NHKathySullivan Illegal aliens are not entitled to these benefits under current law. To the extent they pay payroll taxes, they actually fund the programs. There is no evidence illegal aliens fraudulently collect benefits in any significant number.
