We'll see how that turns out.

As to the offensive, defenders always have an advantage over attackers. Remember Pickett's Charge. Or Fredericksburg, for that matter.
Actually, i dont remember Pickets charge, or Fredericksburg either. lol
But i have read pretty extensively about the Civil war.
And yes, we still have some pretty dumb people leading us.
But is it possible that some were dumb back then for the same reasons?
Especially in the north?
