If Robert E Lee was the commander in Afghanistan we would have won
This man was the president of a world super power
The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
If only we had Robert E. Lee to command our troops in Afghanistan, that disaster would have ended in a complete and total victory many years ago.
Giggling at the idea of Lee getting isekai’ed into leading the fight against the Taliban while 21st-century generals exasperatedly try to talk him out of replacing armored cavalry with actual horses.
