Not to say I don't find it funny (it is very funny), but it's also interesting to anaylze it as far as looking at Bragg's later problems as a general:
Bragg is conscientious about doing things properly to and past a fault. Diplomacy, compromise, anything that gets in the way of that be damned.
I'd say that's a pretty good description of at least some of his problems as an army commander (along with him having a rather irritable disposition, but not all ill-tempered guys had as many problems with their subordinates as he did).
