General Nathan Bedford Forrest said to Colonel Streight when he captured him. Forrest had convince Streight that he would be destroyed he he did not surrended his arms. After finding out that Forrest only had about 400 men Streight was angry and Forrest said "Ah Colonel, All is fair in love and war"

On a documentary last Friday night talking about the use of the two Nuclear Bombs on Japan. It was sadly said although thousands of lives were lost to those two bombs, they went on to say, the use of the 2 bombs actually saved thousand more, if not used on both sides.

The byproduct of WAR, IS PIECE!

Forrest is often erroneously quoted as saying his strategy was to "git thar fustest with the mostest," but this quote first appeared in print in a New York Times story in 1917, written to provide colorful comments in reaction to European interest in Civil War generals. Bruce Catton writes:

"Do not, under any circumstances whatever, quote Forrest as saying 'fustest' and 'mostest'. He did not say it that way, and nobody who knows anything about him imagines that he did."[34]

Forrest became well-known for his early use of "maneuver" tactics as applied to a mobile horse cavalry deployment. He sought to constantly harass the enemy in fast-moving raids, and to disrupt supply trains and enemy communications by destroying railroad track and cutting telegraph lines, as he wheeled around the Union Army's flank. His success in doing so is reported to have driven Ulysses S. Grant to fits of anger.[citation needed]

Ok, I won't tell you where I got it. But actually I have many of Bruce Catton's books. And wrote a paper on
General Forest in Co

I was about to attribute the "fustest with the mostest" quotation to Forrest, but to double check my facts, I consulted Wikipedia and found that I would have been wrong. So I just lifted the contradictory sentence (in abbreviated form) as my contribution on this topic.
