Date: October 15th, 2026 9:18 PM Author: German pumo Pickett’s fate was even more dismal. He put his men in light field works at Five Forks, and then—assuming that the Yankees would not attack today—he went to the rear with the cavalry leaders, Fitzhugh Lee and Thomas Rosser, to enjoy a pleasant shad bake. When Sheridan’s attack finally came, Pickett did not even know that the battle had started (some acoustical quirk apparently kept the sound of the firing from reaching him) and by the time he got the news his line had been completely broken. Sheridan took 5000 prisoners, the survivors went streaming off beyond rallying, and Lee’s last chance to keep the Federals away from the South Side railroad was gone beyond recall. Pickett’s men unquestionably would have been beaten, even if Pickett had been present, because Sheridan’s advantage was overwhelming, but Lee was unforgiving. It had been no day to go to a fish fry; a bad day, altogether, for Gettysburg heroes. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5913090&forum_id=2...id#50191601)

The entire enterprise was doomed from the start because you can't beat a nation fighting against extermination that produces 5x more tanks a month than you do.
