That, however, assumes he has enough troops to attack with and enough time to form a kind of solid front. In this case the victorious Union armies may or may not give him that time, that depends on their own losses in the ATL campaign and what Hooker decides to do after said losses.
Indisputably.
And Longstreet trusts refuge in audacity (this timeline even more than ours after Lee has had it blow up in his face worse than any OTL campaign) about as much as Jackson trusts his subordinates.
I wonder if Longstreet tries to remove Jackson on that note. Not as a "can't stand the man", but as "this guy is not an asset to the army. Srsly. Why do I have to keep him?"
