Hey 5fish...yeah man...I agree that those three factors you mentioned are pertinent to the failure of Gordon and his men. I mentioned the guides getting lost earlier and have been aware of that aspect for some time. You make a good point about Fed arty pinning down the Rebs. Once the Johnnys took Stedman, not long after they were being hit hard by Union guns at Fort McGilvery, Fort Friend, and various other batteries under Northern control....

To those who have been to the Ft. Steadman location; it is my understanding that there is low line of hills or hill(ridge?) just behind the fort that is a little higher than(or on a line with) the walls of the fort. If so, it would seem that it should have been one of the main priority targets after the Fort itself. Does anyone know what the stop line line was for Gordon's assaulting force?

All the Firt Stedman maps worked great.

The east isn't my balliwick and my knowledge of those boys is rather limited. That said for some reason Saylors Creek has fascinated me as it was truly the last of the ANV when all was over that night the ANV was well and truly dead. Even if Ewell had held, which I don't see how he could have, it would have only forestalled destruction by a few days at most. Saylor's Creek shows me just how hopeless it was for the ANV at that...

I think Five Forks, 4/1/65 pretty much led to the Federal breakthrough at Petersburg, which in turn led to the ensuing rout of the ANV and the abandonment of Richmond.
If I can find it I'll post up a map from USMA at West Point showing troop movements on both sides.

The idea that he ought to be spared additional self-appraisal is born of the idea that he's been punished enough. I kinda go along with the idea that, if he is sentenced to die, then he ought to die.
Say Ted Bundy or Ed Gein didn't succumb to the first attempt; does that mean that they ought not be eliminated?
I don't hold with "punished enough." Presumably, due process of law was ...

Some celebrate Quantrill & Bloody Bill Anderson as heroes. Stormfront thinks Adolf was the second coming and the Klan will save the white race. Hell, we had a major player in the White House who idolized Mao. No shortage of nutters in the world.

Given the experiences of all foreign invaders in Afghanistan since who knows when (certainly since the British first tried, probably earlier) - no. More troops and more bombs will just breed more hatred, more ill will, and less willingness to support anything we do in the Muslim world.
Since we're already doing an excellent job of convincing the Muslim world that the United States is at best ...
