GDG- Gettysburg as learning ground (Will article/editorial)

[Bob Huddleston]

I  would submit that those who landed on Iwo Jima or Normandy were facing
potentially as deadly a situation. The men of the Civil War cared deeply. 


Take care,

Bob

<<Yes, good leadership is always a vital ingredient, but there was alot more
to it than that.>>

Ah, George.  You know you cannot get away with posing that premise without
elaborating.

What makes you think "the soldiers of both sides during the Civil War were
from a world so different from that of today that it is nearly impossible
for the average officer or enlisted man to comprehend what motivated them to
do what they did - and how they did it."

That's quite a statement that requires detailed explanation.

Regards, Tom
