Settle this... Between Stuart and Forrest

[Study the Past]

Ditto for me! Seriously, I thought of a point... well, a couple. First, Forrest wasn't always a sourpuss... read Morton's book, or one of my favorites, May I Quote You, General? I apologize for not citing that properly... this tablet gives me fits. And I don't recall Stuart starting over... what... three times when people decided he could just get along without his current command and someone else needed them. Gotta also give him credit for putting up with Bragg, Wheeler, S.D. Lee, Hood. Good grief. He didn't kill any of them.

I'd say Bragg and/or Hood alone themselves would have caused such internal rage within most during that time.

Forrest to Bragg after Chickamauga:

"You have played the part of a damned scoundrel, and are a coward, and if you were any part of a man I would slap your jaws and force you to resent it. You may as well not issue any more orders to me, for I will not obey them...and as I say to you that if you ever again try to interfere with me or cross my path it will be at the peril of your life."

One of my favorite lines of Forrest during the war, further proving that he didn't take it from anyone, regardless of rank.
