“Also uttered by WT Sherman. The Human Torch.”

I’m not defending the man. I don’t know enough about the American Civil War. It was mentioned in Israel on about 1 page of a world history book. There was a picture of a Gatlin Gun.

All I remember is thinking the Gatlin Gun was really, really, cool.

I am merely commenting on the tactical efficacy of a scorched Earth strategy.

I'm sure that if Sherman was quoted saying, "The weather's nice today," you'd find a way to conceive that as a sinister statement of utter evil.
