Mosby or Forrest would have cut Custer's balls off.
JEB Stuart had his chance, with four to one odds in his favor....
But, Custer was just the right lunatic in just the right place at the just right time, until his luck famously ran out. He wasn't the strategist and consummate warrior and judge of men that Forrest was. I dunno enough about Mosby to have an opinion.
