I love when I'm learning about some historical battle, and they talk about one of the Generals as a Genius Military Strategist, and then you find out that the plan is always "Hear me out, what if we surprise them, and then get all around them."

Pickett’s Charge at Gettysburg!!!
At the same time JEB Stuart was trying to attack the Union rear with 4000 cavalry.
He was stopped by 400 cavalry from Michigan lead by General Custer.
The site is Battlefield East at Gettysburg, the least visited place at Gettysburg.
Custer prevented a crushing Union defeat.
July 3 1863, the day 400 guys saved America.
battles are tactics.
campaigns are strategy.
ensuring the supplies and the troops get to the right place at the right time.
