Is this some kind of a troll or joke? Grant isn’t even in the top 100 US military commanders (counting confederate commanders in this).

So does that mean we have to discount the exploits of such storied American commanders as Leonard Wood, John Pershing, Dwight Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur, George Patton, Chester Nimitz, etc. because they had superior logistics and manpower to their enemies? If that's the case then we have to go back to William Henry Harrison and Andrew Jackson in the War of 1812 to find an American commander worth a shite.
