Reply #5: Yeah, he was a moron ... [View All]

Other than Lee, who at least recognized the desperateness of the situation, Pickett was the only person who actually *wanted* to make the assault that was made on July 3rd at Gettysburg, mostly because he'd missed all the action so far and wanted to get into the fight. Not the brightest bulb in the lamp, for sure.

But he was dead by the time the recognizable "rebel yell" could have been used by an American solider.

The incident to which I referred occurred during the Spanish American War in Cuba.
