Talk:Orlando Willcox

Why did Turtledove feel the need to make Wilcox, who was quite competent, so unimaginably stupid? He did favor launching direct assaults, but he wouldn't point to the strongest enemy position on the map, order his men to bang their heads against it, and thank God for delivering them victory. I understand that HT needed the US to have stupid commanders but this was way over the top, and disrespectful to a historical figure who was much smarter than he's given credit for.
