Is this a trick question? Is this just to generate an argument about whether Lee, Longstreet Et al are real Americans?

I don't know. Replace Patton with an Ike clone. Do we still win WWII? Yeah.

Replace Ike with a Patton clone. Do we still win? Probably? I don't think it's a slam dunk. It's an interesting thing to talk about though.

Who is the greatest general in US history?
Too much emphasis on Civil War and WWII, what about Andrew F'ing Jackson or Winfield Scott or Matthew Ridgeway? Heck, maybe throw in some Schwarzkopf and Mattis to bring it up to date. And any list that doesn't have George Marshall on it is bunk. ;)
