the war, sherman would say you march in, kill the people who are responsible for sending poor, uneducated peasants to the south, and destroy the infrastructure. but we bombed more than we did in world war ii and killed innocent civilians because we were afraid of drawing chinese and russians by bombing infrastructure, killing what fueled it. i think you are right, but the problem with sherman's theory is in liberal society, with pretenses to the enlightenment, it's very hard to suggest to people. i think you will find that, believe me, because if you mention the word sherman today, people get furious. he is a terrorist. you mention grant, you look at grant, that was butchering, but sherman, it's too hard to communicate it's a moral act to attack the people who are purely in war, and to save the innocent lives of people, they have to fight it. i spent most of the last five years when i speak defending sherman, even in the south, which is a suicidal thing to do. and i learned at an early age from my other grandmother, georgia johnson, if it's between johnson who did nothing and sherman to s
