67th Tigers somehow was under the delusion that Little Mac was the Union's best general and British Troops bounced bullets off their chests.
Actually, no. The British would never have to face such a test since the mere sight of their colors would have any opponent breaking and running for their lives.
Really? I could see arguing that he was mislead by poor intelligence and wasn't suited for the position he got but he clearly wasn't the Unions best general.
It's actually in the AlternateHistoryWiki, under 67th Tigers' member entry, that while he is very knowledgeable about certain aspects of the American Civil War, one must never criticize George B. McClellan in his presence. While he was a member he was by very far the forum's #1 Little Mac Fan.
But even those who oft times took 67th Tigers' position in arguments usually found his adoration of Mac as being...unusual.
Everybody has a personal hero, and many will champion them on AH.com. I consider Monty to be the best general of any side in WWII, though I was a long time coming to that conclusion (Note to Slim Fan Boys: Yes, he too was outstanding but he fought in a very different war than Monty's).
Little Mac's positive contribution to the Union was creating the Army of the Potomac in the first place. Everything else after that was highly negative.
MacClellan the Union's best general!? Please tell me I mis-read that.
You didn't. Little Mac was the William Frederick I of Prussia/Philip the Great of Macedonia.
