I would actually disagree. For the South to prevail in your scenario, Lee would have needed a large scale victory with heavy northern losses. With both sides suffering heavy causalities as a result of this new kind of warfare, I just don't see where such a victory would occur.

After 1963, there is very little direct influence the CSA can impose upon the final result, either the North retires from war fatigue or the South gets crippled due to lack of manufacturing and manpower.

Quote:“Obama is intentionally weakening and gutting our military, Pentagon and reducing us as a superpower, and anyone in the ranks who disagrees or speaks out is being purged,” he charged.

Duty personnel seem to back up this concern, suggesting that the firings are meant to send a message to “young officers down through the ranks” not to criticize the president or White House politics.

“They are purging everyone, and if you want to keep your job, just keep your mouth shut,” one source said.

The military is looked upon as one of the last bastions of conservative ideas, even though under the Obama administration, it, too, has become a testing ground for social experimentation. The efforts include openly homosexual behavior and women in combat.

Energy (or power) is neither created nor destroyed. It only changes forms.
