| Gentlemen, It has been Cabinet policy for sometime now to create clear blue water between our system of medals and awards and those of the real world. We want to be distinctive and unique to ourselves. Accordingly, by unanimous vote in the Cabinet, the Legion of Merit is being retired. In its place... |

| Gosh, these are controversial questions. I would retain Lee's B rating; but it's a marginal call. No argument from me that the ANV was seriously unprepared for a major engagement in July 1863 & Lee bears ultimate responsibility for that but I think Lee handled the retreat to Falling Waters with ... |

| I remember there was a fascinating discussion here a while ago, debating the merits of the various generals, North and South. Hood remains a more enigmatic figure than most, I believe. Of course, his name will always be linked with the slaughter in front of the Carter House, but I believe at Spring ... |

No Longstreet, no victory at Chic... |
