"...the sarcasm of a Richmond newspaper... The paper commented that in the first reports from the West the troops have always ' exhibited an irresistible and superhuman valor unknown in history this side of Sparta and Rome. As for the generals, they usually get all their clothes shot off and replace them with a suit of glory. The enemy, of course, is simply annihilated."
The modernity of this roast is beyond belief.

"McClellan differed markedly from Halleck... his trim five-feet eight-inch figure and his forty five-inch chest gave him an imposing appearance, especially when mounted on a horse. His attractive manner appealed to the soldier's imagination and he readily gained their loyalty."

It's important for generals to appeal to their soldiers' imaginations.
