AAOP: General; Take That Hill If Practable

Confederate General Robert E. Lee uttered those words at dusk on the night of July 2, 1863. General Ewell

(Lee's division commander) had a choice to make. Try to take the high ground (Cemetary Hill), causing thousands

more of dead & wounded, or sit tight & enjoy the days victorious run at Gettysburg. He chose the latter, which was the

safe thing to do. This decision could have cost the South the war because taking that hill would give the South the

upper hand.

What will the Mets do? Be aggressive, take huge risks(Stanton, Tulo, Bautista, etc.) or the safe approach(spend

less, be cautious). I , like the Mets, & General Ewell will take the safe approach & live another day.
