McClellan is humanized by our conversation and the reading I did before this.

I didn't realize a lot of his flaw came from some of the good things that he felt about war.

And, you know, I've never liked the guy, but I mean, the truth is there were other elements.

Braxton Bragg, you know, I just think he's just a vile person.

beginning to end.

Not a good general on top of it.

So I'm going with him.

Worst and most hated general.

Charles Lee is high on the list and all these other guys are stinking bad ones too.

But there we go, folks.

Thank you so much, Cecily, for joining us on this one.

Always.

I hope you'll come back again.
