I think there is a strong case for Sherman benefitting from being Hallecks prewar buddy, but not the othersI listened to a discussion on YouTube where they ranked Union generals of the civil war into tiers and one of the gentleman went on about a “halleck clique”. Basically to him, Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, McPherson, and a slew of others who rose to be generals were basically friends or friendly to Halleck, and basically he played a game of politics when he was general in chief.
Is this true?
I see halleck as some who was best with admin and logistics work.
