Thank goodness for that.

Can you imagine how incompetent either would have been as President? Grant would have been a great President by comparison, and that's saying something.
I'll give you he definitely had presidential aspirations but to link that to having men killed for this goal and on your main points I'll agree to disagree.
No problem. Agreement isn't required, even if I am of the opinion that your opinion is misguided. The world will be as it will, and not as you or I would will it to be.
