Partially, but they also won conventinally as well. In the end, england was out generaled

Correct, when Saturn got "Generaled" it was over for them.

#ZhouYiwei in The Rebel Princess was indeed one of the most generaled generals i've seen from Cdramas recently. Him & #CiSha made the roles believable cuz they didnt look super neat & their facial expressions reflected the angst & anger they had for their enemies.

I’d take him over Lee. Grant Generaled on a strategic level. Thomas and Lee were tacticians. Like chess over checkers.

RORI HARMON FLOOR GENERALed that 2nd half for the W

Grant outplayed Lee. Vicksburg was a great victory. Grant outplayed the Confederates hard. Then nearly at the same time Lee lost big at Gettysburg. Lee was out generaled by Grant. Grant has a place among the greatest Captains, Lee does not.

Rod, I respect the post, but this take sells Lee way short. Lee praising Grant after the war was classic Southern chivalry from a man of deep humility who was trying to help the country heal. He offered generous terms at Appomattox and spoke politely afterward. Using that as proof Grant was clearly superior misses who Lee was. Grant did seize the initiative after the Wilderness and never gave it back, but look at the cost. He started the Overland Campaign with roughly 120,000 men against Lee's 65,000 and lost nearly 55,000 in just forty days. That is not brilliant maneuvering. That is buying ground with blood. Lee practiced economy of force at a master level, making Grant pay a brutal price for every inch of Virginia soil. The idea that Lee fought the "last war" while Grant fought the "next war" also falls flat. Lee pushed for better theater-wide coordination as early as 1862, but he served under Jefferson Davis, a notorious micromanager. Grant's real innovation was simple: keep attacking with overwhelming numbers and industrial power until the other side breaks. That is not a revolutionary strategy. It is ancient attrition, just scaled up by factories and railroads. And no, Lee did not simply react while Grant dictated terms. At Cold Harbor, Lee baited Grant into a frontal assault that cost the Union 7,000 men in under an hour. At North Anna, he trapped Grant's army in a deadly "V" formation. Grant only escaped serious disaster because Lee fell ill at the critical moment. Grant was out-generaled repeatedly in 1864. He just had an endless supply of replacements. Winning is not the same as being the better general. Any commander with a massive resource advantage can grind out victory if he refuses to quit. Lee fought the most industrialized nation on earth to a near-stalemate for three years with a fraction of the men, food, and guns. He cycled the Union through five different commanders before they found one willing to accept 50,000 casualties in a month. By August 1864, his strategy had the North so sick of the bloodshed that Lincoln privately thought he would lose re-election. Grant was the right man for a superpower with unlimited resources. Lee is the general you study when you want to see what real leadership looks like when the math says you should have lost years earlier. Grant won the war, but Lee defined the art of command.

He was an incredible tactician, out-generaled all the enemy generals. And his brother is very likely the most hated Afrikaner historical figure. Which seems to be the problem yet today - the "Joiner" class, the likes of Basson, Croucamp etc. Sad!

“In general, our generals were out-generaled.” - John Adams reacting to Kips Bay

What has she ever generaled other than probably losing a war with a toilet brush?

Agree. Persia was absolutely out-generaled.

general to ever generaled

since dude didn't get primaried, let's hope he gets "generaled." I just invented a word I think

During the chaotic years of the reign of Valerian, Illyria was the only province, generaled by such officers as Claudius,  Aurelian and Probus, where the barbarians were kept at bay, while Gaul was overrun by the Franks, Thrace and the Mediterranean by the Goths

@DanhausenAD is not fooled by your @ScrapDaddyAP disguise Mr Cold Steve Austin the Generaled Manager of RAW!! Fulfill the list of Demandhausens or be cursed!!!!

Is Cold Steve Austin still the Monday Night Raw generaled manager?

I would disagree on the conquest of the Philippines. The US knew that we couldn't resupply our forces there and we had agreed in 1921 to not improve the fortifications there. See War Plan Orange. Their landing went well but MacArthur was able to delay surrender for several months longer than either side had anticipated or planned. That greatly aided morale back home. MacArthur pretty much out-generaled the Japanese. When the Americans returned, we wanted to capture the ports of Manila and Cebu for staging the invasion of Japan. General Yamashita commanded the defense but was driven into the boondocks where he was well out of the way but only surrendered once the Emperor did in Tokyo.

My brothers and I Generaled some TRULY historic battles! I think we would ALL agree The Second Winter Battle of Upstairs Hall was the most memorable and hard fought. Even more so than The Backyard Campaigns of ‘68 if you can believe it.

The 7 Sep, 1892 fight between John L. Sullivan and James J. Corbett was historic in that it marked boxing's clear shift from bare-knuckle brawling to the modern gloved era. From London Prize Fight rules to Marquis of Queensberry Rules. It ended Sullivan's 10-year reign as Heavyweight Champion. The ringside coverage below is suitably dramatic as one man fell and the other man rose. "John L. Sullivan, for ten years the mighty champion of the world, was knocked completely out in twenty-one rounds tonight by James J. Corbett, the young San Francisco pugilist. For the first time in a brilliant career Sullivan was whipped. The reason was proclaimed from his own bruised and bloody lips. Staggering to the ropes after recovering consciousness, and raising his great hands into the air with a gesture more dramatic than he possibly could portray on the stage, full of the awful realization that his time had come at last, John L. Sullivan, the fallen idol of pugilism, exclaimed in a loud but choking voice: "Gentlemen, I have only one thing to say, once and for all, and that is this: This was to be, and is, my last battle. I have lost. I stayed once too often with a young man, and to James J. Corbett I pass the championship." As he spoke Sullivan was the picture of awful despair. He reeled through the sand, knowing what he was about, but still weak from his adversary's terrific blows. His nose was split, his mouth puffed from blood vessels severed inside, his ponderous breast bloody and heaving and his lips set with determination that showed he understood the serious position in which his last fight had placed him. The famous man staggered into his dressing-room and, sinking into a chair, wept like a child. John L. Sullivan was really beaten into insensibility as thoroughly and artistically as any pugilist that ever lost a battle. He was out-sparred, out-winded, out-punched and out-generaled. He was the toy for an opponent who was lighter than he by twenty pounds. When Sullivan fell under the terrific fusillade of blows delivered by Corbett, pandemonium broke loose and no victor was ever so cheered as was Corbett. While the young champion was being kissed, hugged and fondled, Sullivan's limp form was laid into the chair. Corbett came to him, but the beaten man was like the dead."

Yes! We are ‘over generaled’
