Andy...
Gotsta-disagree. If The General and while in uniform (even Dress Blues) had instead praised Allah in A Muslim Temple in America,...he would have been revered by all as a great humanitarian. Probably would've been both decorated by The President of The United States and put up for The Nobel Peace Prize to-boot.
The truth of the matter, is that such a fine warrior merely suffered the very same: "DOUBLE STANDARD",...such as what most Americans in general have been experiencing FOR MANY YEARS. One must be: "Sensitive" to all sensitivities on earth,...except and quite ironically NOT TO ANY AMERICAN SENSITIVITIES.
Don't know about that: "Sherman" & "Nut house" bit either. Whatever and if so, believe Old Bill got: "A bum rap".
The Civil War did last for years, and I've always been led to believe that more Americans died in The Civil War,...than died in all other American Wars combined in history. In that context, 100,000 seems WAY-OFF to me?
