| If you use a weapon (gun, Molotov cocktail, whatever) in a war then you are a combatant. If you are in a hospital, taking cover in a theatre/shopping centre/non-militarised residential area/etc or fleeing a city via an agreed evacuation corridor then you are a civilian.

| William Sherman A doctrinal and strategic visionary, William Sherman was also a charismatic leader of troops, but he did suffer tactical lapses that on occasion proved costly, as at the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain (June 27, 1864). His profound understanding of the essential brutality of war may hav... |

Bragg is the Captain Sobel (Band of Brothers) of the Confederacy, Great trainer but poor commander.
It would be a great misstep though to underrate training. |

I disagree that the winning General is by default the better one. So many factors contribute to a win or a loss. Not all are controllable.
