Good article. Small quibble.

Lincoln didn’t fire Meade. He moved Grant into overall command of the various armies, replacing Halleck. Grant chose to make his headquarters in the field with the Army of the Potomac and so was with Meade. Meade remained the commander of the Army of the Potomac. Obviously, with Grant in the field with him, Meade had less of an independent command than the other army commanders as a result.

The horrific judgment, and non-performance, of the 3 Obarry terms has nearly derailed DoD. The shameful debacle in Kabul, after tankers of blood and trillions, was defended by Milley and McKenzie, both should be court martialed, is top of a long list. They will see justice in this world or the next.
