Anytime anyone mentions that lowlife sherman, its like a 4 foot flame burning my arse. I will not suffer for long the fools that bring him as some hero.
There were a lot of “less than honorable” things on both sides, but sherman’s actions were unnecessary and put a blight on any honor on those who allowed and encouraged him to do commit those crimes against humanity.

Exactly. We don’t praise “bad guys” like the Germans and Soviets when they practiced scortched earth and burned countless villages to the ground; it’s hypocritical to praise Sherman for the same thing because he “saved the Union.”
